5 5 Ooze Tube Claudia T. older makes gardening more difficult, but with this waterer, carrying water is no longer an issue! My tomatoes thrived last summer, so much so that our neighbor's chickens feasted on them and grew bigger and I am sure, healthier!
2 5 Failure Anthony Booker Despite making the smallest hole possible and very gently inserting the supplied emitters, 90% leak at a greater rate than the 1/2 gah emitters.It appears that the material used has insufficient elasticity to "seal" around the emitter. Therefore, watering occurs for only one to two days which means we must find an alternative to use while we travel.
4 5 Ooze Tube Larry I purchased it to water tomatoes. I have 5 droppers installed so it needs filling every couple of days.
3 5 ooze tube B This is a great idea, but didn't live up to my expectations. I travel a lot in the summer and thought this was a great way to keep my garden alive when I was away. It worked early in the season, but the plastic did not hold up well enough to hold the emitters tightly, so the water leaked out too quickly around the emitters. Will not work for another season! I might try the bags next year, as they look like they are made of a tougher material. Again, great idea, poor execution!
5 5 Place, Fill, Water, Relax Jerry @ Boothwyn Really keeps the hydrating worries under control. Does a large area and you can position the emitters any place for optimum watering. Rolls up easily for the next use or storage.
1 5 Disappointed, to say the least. Vegetable lover from Texas The product did NOT work as depicted. The tubes are located in such obscure locations and with such short tubing that using the product was difficult, and the supposed watering of the plants simply did not happen as the product is described. What it did do was give mosquitoes an open space to get into the water and breed. We removed the bags and threw them away. Very disappointed.

5 5 Emitters & tubes Donald J. The product is great but I could have used 4 more emitters for each of my two tubes for my vegetable garden.
3 5 Could improve Beth Bought to solve watering problem in hot area, too fragile, needs sturdier material, leaked after first week, hose hole too small, had to enlarge
1 5 Not impressed We use tree gators when planting new trees and they work great. I was hoping these would work as well as they did. I was very disappointed. I would not recommend them. A soaker hose works a lot better.
