TreeSip Watering Bag

The TreeSip watering bag is a simple, efficient and cost effective method of watering young trees during the first years of establishment. Easily installed and filled in just minutes, the watering bag can also be moved between different trees; you can even join two bags together to use on larger trees.

The watering bag features two small holes, one in each gusset, that slowly drips out over a few hours. This ensures deep water saturation, encouraging deep root growth and efficient watering during dry summers and drought conditions. The deep saturation is also ideal for regions with sandy soils where other options, such as polymer water wells, may not be as effective.

 

Features/Benefits

• Provides deep saturation watering with minimal evaporation or run-off.
• Simple and quick to setup, can easily be moved between trees. No digging, no staking, no tools required.
• Deep watering, with a 3 to 4 day break between, helps to encourage deep root growth.
• The bags are tough, flexible, and are manufactured to suit harsh NZ conditions with a 5 year UV rating.
• One bag is ideal for a tree up to 8cm in diameter where lower branches are clear to a height of 630mm or more.
• Two bags can accommodate a tree up to 20cm in diameter. Note that is not recommended to join more than 2 together.

 

Usage and handling:

• Use clean water only. Sediment or vegetation may block the drip holes.
• When filling, 1/3 fill the bag and use both handles to partly lift bag; this will seat the base correctly around the tree, then complete filling.
• Never attempt to unzip, move or transport the bag when full.
• Do not suspend or hang the watering bag from the black handles.
• Take care not to rip or tear the fill opening.
• Ensure ground and tree trunk are clear of any sharp edges or objects.
• Keep the bag away from small children.
