Deep Watering Trees and Shrubs

Most trees and shrubs need periodic deep watering depending on regional climate and rainfall. Use the Yard Butler Deep Root Irrigator to apply enough water to wet the entire root zone and to encourage deep rooting. Deeper roots are better able to withstand periods of drought; shallow watering, on the other hand, leads to shallow roots and plants that are susceptible to drought and strongly affected by fluctuating temperatures.

Consult with your gardening expert about desired frequency of watering.

Advantages of Using the Deep Root Irrigator

• Delivers water directly to the root zone of trees & shrubs

• Saves water by eliminating wasteful runoff or evaporation

• Encourages deep root growth

• Easily attaches to a water-soluble hose end sprayer for use as a root feeder

• Drills its own hole

• Dozens of additional uses as a water blaster

Operating Instructions

1. Connect hose securely to Deep Root Irrigator. 

2. Turn on the water gently.

3.  Push into the ground slowly, allowing the Deep Root Irrigator to drill its own hole.

4. Insert the Deep Root Irrigator 6" to 18" into the soil around the drip line of the tree, and water on low volume for 5 to
   30 minutes, depending on tree size and soil conditions. Repeat every 12" to 24".
