Because of the size of the bags, it would most likely be too big to work with new perennials. Most new perennials, such as a 2 or 3 foot rhodedendron, are about 18" high and can't be zipped up around them, plus 20 gallons of water is a lot to put on them.
Yes, it aids in the watering of other plants near the tree's base.
It all depends on where they're positioned in relation to the tree. The weight of water in the bag, I've discovered, can actually prevent the bag from dropping water. If you'll be gone for less than two weeks, however, it's preferable to not watering at all.
I've had no problems with them in two seasons of use. During the winter, I keep them inside.

It's a great concept, but it's a pain to put into practice. We purchased these after planting three small trees at the far edge of our property, where there is no water supply within 300 feet. In light of this, they are effective. However, you must be wary of having a tree that is still too small to fit around this. As a result, we had to move it to the side. Although the water drains slowly, don't expect it to hold enough water to last more than a week. During the dry season, we fill about three times a week. For the first two years, new trees require a lot of water! It's going to be a lot of fun. We transport water in garbage cans, which we fill with water from the back of a pickup truck. A metal garbage can was placed inside a plastic garbage can. Plastic is used to keep the water out and metal is used to support the weight. When we need something similar again, we'll probably go with their donut shape, which we think is more aesthetically pleasing and easier to handle.
The bags are great, but I tore one by accident when I tried to adjust it by the handle while it was full of water. That was a huge blunder. The sturdy handles have nothing to do with holding the bag, according to the "Precautions. " I reread the "Precautions. " They appear to be intended for securing the bag around the tree trunk in a loose manner. br>br>I went back over the bag photos again, and they all show the bag standing obediently next to the tree. When they're full of water, they don't stand up straight next to the tree. Their product photo is a little misleading because they slump. Overall, a fantastic product; keep the weeds out! It keeps the eaters at bay.
Between the sidewalk and the curb, a city-planted tree was used. Rainwater cannot reach the tree ball due to a lack of space. The Treegator allows me to water the tree while ensuring that all of the water reaches the root ball and that no water is wasted. I've been filling the Treegator every three days and using water soluble fertilizer on alternate days. In November of last year, the tree was planted. I started watering the tree in April, when it was dormant, and it is now blooming nicely on May 1st. 5 inch caliper) and fill with water from the garden hose By taking a few minutes to fill the bag and allowing it to provide a slow watering over 5 to 8 hours, I know the root ball is getting the water it requires.
These were purchased for our newly planted trees. They're still in good shape. We'll bring them in for the winter months so they don't crack, which is approaching the end of November. Last year, I forgot to take them off (not these, but others) and they cracked in the cold. br>At first, moving the zippers up and down was a little difficult, but after a few times, it became second nature and was simple to zip and unzip. br>Because we intend to buy five more trees, we will undoubtedly purchase more treegators. br> Good price and overall a good product; they appear to be fairly durable, and I'm hoping they will last at least a couple of years. If anything goes wrong, I'll return to provide an update. br>I did not receive a discount for this product; I paid full price; my opinion is my own, and I have not been influenced in any way.
I purchased a total of six, four of which had issues. One had a tiny hole in the middle that sprayed a fine mist of water. It won't be a problem if it doesn't grow any larger. I'm not sure if they'll get better, but 4 leaves a lot of water in the bag because of the reduced pressure. To ensure that they last all winter, I don't leave them on the tree.
A 20-gallon bag drips for about four hours. Placement is critical, so make sure it's on a level surface and if you have a young tree (1" - 2"), make sure it's on a level surface. Because it leans heavily in one direction, the heavy 20gal bag (when full) can uproot/damage your tree, you'll need to secure it to a nearby anchor/stake. br>br>Now I'll get down to business. I'm using the profile Tree Gator Jr to irrigate my evergreensbr>br>I've only had it for a month (4 refills), so I can't give it more than three stars.
They don't work the majority of the time. Most of the time, the bag will only be half full. Then I have to shake and reposition the bag the following day. It's so aggravating, and it defeats the purpose. It's easier and less aggravating to simply turn on a hose and let it trickle. I bought another brand of bag off Amazon for a fourth tree on a whim, as these bags are expensive. That product does exactly what it should, and it's a third of the price! Needless to say, I just ordered three more of the other brand to replace the tree gator trash bags!.
I was concerned that my children were not receiving adequate nutrition. I like how the bags drain slowly and completely. They're also useful for protecting new trees from trucks. Because my trees are situated on a slope, they assisted in keeping the water where it was needed. This product has made my life so much easier!.
