Yes ! When watering a tree from 4 to 8 inches in trunk diameter, you can zip two bags together back-to-back around the trunk to create a Double Bag setup!
I may need to watch this again just to be sure I understand not to lift back while water running fold zipper down so it will stay zipped I may have to write all this down. This may be too much for me I may just hire a contractor.
Yes! You can absolutely add water-soluble fertilizers, nutrients, etc. into either model Treegator® bag. Ideally, you'll want to pre-mix the nutrient/fertilizer/stimulant in a separate container before adding them to your bag, as failing to premix your preferred additive may cause clogging of the drip holes. When done properly, this is a great way to feed and water your tree at the same time!
Do you sell any tree bags that will take 3-4 days to empty instead of 5-9 hrs. I am trying to grow blueberries about an hour away from where I live so 5-9 hrs is of no help. I can water it before I leave but it may be 4-5 days before I can get back there because of my schedule.
Thank you for your comment. The Treegator® Original and Treegator® Jr. Pro Slow Release Watering Bag are the only models we manufacture and sell. Please note that the basic idea behind a Treegator® Bag is not necessarily to water as LONG as possible - instead, it is designed to water as DEEP as possible, without wasting any water (or time) in the process. A Treegator® Slow Release Watering Bag delivers water deep below the soil surface with no run-off - every time. Essentially, this means that even though the bag is empty in approximately 5 to 9 hours, there is a high concentration of moisture deep within the entire soil profile that your new tree or shrub can feed on - potentially for several days. This is why for many new tree plantings, (i.e. 1" - 2" caliper) you may only need to fill a Treegator® Bag once every 5 to 7 days. For more on this, please visit: www.Treegator.com/watering/onceaweek

The city plant a new tree front of my home, the owner of the house take care my garden, she doesn’t want to water the plan brushes said is a lot money. I feel very bad about. What I can do?
My new Treegator Bag appears to have no bottom in which to hold the water. The bag is zipped around the new tree and when looking down through top of the bag, all I see is the tree trunk and then the mulch which surrounds the tree at the bottom. Does anyone have any ideas might help?
Hello and thank you for your question. It may be that you are attempting to place your hose behind your Treegator® Original Bag (green), instead of inside it. Please make sure that you are inserting your hose into the fill opening at the top of the bag - you will need to lift up the color tag to expose/view the fill opening. After inserting the hose into the fill opening located underneath the tag, turn on your water supply and fill the bag to approximately 1/4 full. Then, gently lift up on the black straps to fully expand the bottom of the bag (you can do this with the hose still inside the bag filling it with water). Resume filling to desired quantity, remove the hose and let empty. It should take approximately 5 to 9 hours for the bag to completely empty - repeat this procedure once every 5 to 7 days, or as needed. (Note: May take up to 24 hours for the bag to completely empty)
Great instructions. It would be better to acknowledge your spouse or insolent teenager off screen turning the water on and off. This could add humor and show that you recognize that you did not in fact turn that hose off.

@@TreegatorBags if that's the case then I can connect the long hose to the tap with timer and stick it into the soil next to the tree and set the timer to slow release for 9hrs...no need to buy bag. Thanks
@@TruthDefender A Treegator® provides a measured quantity of water every time it is filled and can be zipped together to slowly water trees with large diameter trunks in the same amount of time - both something that a trickling garden hose cannot do.
@@TreegatorBags my garden hose when set on slow release can do exactly the same job like you bag! Just accept that fact. If your bag is so great then why most gardeners dont use it?
This system last for 3 weeks in Phoenix, Arizona. The trees received boiled water everyday! The "housing" is getting crazy hot in the sun, would never EVER buy it again... what a stupid idea this system is!!!
@@nikarougeinNY The bag stays for few days filled with water, I had your idea already ;) Didn't work, so I went back to my hose and at the same time I sure the trees do get their water for sure. By the way, WOODPECKERS love to put some holes in this bag too :D
Ural, have you reached out directly to the company? These are supposed to drain in 5-9 hours. If it's taking days to drain, there may some other issue.
I want the voice activated water hose!
They really are useful. Thanks for this clear video.

Is it possible to put two of these together for a larger tree? I assume because its a zipper mechanism that you could zip each of them together.
Yes ! When watering a tree from 4 to 8 inches in trunk diameter, you can zip two bags together back-to-back around the trunk to create a Double Bag setup!
You can zip 4 together.
This is a cool product
Great informative video! Thank you!
Can I put miracle gro powder in the bag before filling it with water? Thank you.
Of course.
Is this the same for old trees? What about the size of the tree trunk? A conifer 60 years old dying at the back due to lack of water?
Do you have to use it with a tree? Let's say i stick a pole into the ground with this bag. Then plant some plants around this in a circle.
How long will the water last?
Usually 9 hours
How many years can it endure?
So if it empties in a few hours, how is this any different than putting a hose and letting run on low for 5 hours?
can't putting a hose and letting run on low for 5 hours everywhere.
I wish they had smaller holes that went all the way around for more surface area coverage. I don’t understand why they would only put two holes
Fun....how the water magically goes on and off just with his voice. Can someone give me the app for that?🤣🤣🤣🤣
I may need to watch this again just to be sure I understand not to lift back while water running fold zipper down so it will stay zipped I may have to write all this down. This may be too much for me I may just hire a contractor.
Thank you
can you add fertilizer or do you sell anything that will release thru the holes?

Don’t want to water the new tree, only her house garden *
Can you stand on your head and do it?
I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I follow these instructions and it seems that the bag is so slow to empty, if at all.

Wow
How to tell if the tree needs another water fill or if you over watering it?
Look up water requirements for your specific tree species/age/zone.
I want to know the same thing!
For new trees I water every three days without rain.
