The Deep Watering Spike is one of the most effective products to get water, fertilizer and oxygen to your tree's roots. The 14" Deep Watering Spike is the ideal choice for getting water, fertilizer and oxygen to young, small trees or shrubs with shallow roots. Also, the 14" spike is great for rose bushes. You'll conserve more water, prevent runoff and erosion, thus fertilizing the tree better and aerating the soil. Just place the spike permanently into the ground around the tree or shrub and as the tree or shrub grows, simply pull out the spike(s) and move them out with the root system. Whether in soft soil or hard clay, the watering spikes are engineered to take a beating and can be pounded into the ground with a hammer without breaking. The reinforced tip and cap are made of ABS and the upper shaft is made of PVC. Multiple holes are present at the bottom of the spike, covered with a mesh filter that allows water to flow out and keep dirt from entering. The UV protected cap serves multiple purposes: it acts as a protective cover when hammered into the ground, keeps rocks and leaves from entering the shaft and it is engineered for strength. The watering spike can easily connect to your automatic drip system or you can just pull up a hose and let the water flow down to the tree's roots. You can also add fertilizer into the shaft of the watering spike. Water will pass through the granules and carry nutrients into the soil directly, giving the tree healthier roots.
