Not exactly what I was expecting.,
This review is from: 15 Gallon Ooze Tube Tree Watering
Here's the problem with the Ooze Tubes. When you first fill them up they work perfectly, but after say the second day when some of the water has drained the bags move. They kind of roll over as water is released. At that point the spout is no longer at the bottom and no longer dripping. They are okay, but we end up filling them up a lot more than we anticipated.

This review is from: 15 Gallon Ooze Tube Tree Watering
I am pleased with this product but the bag does get holes in it very easily. It you have goat heads (small thisle) or sand burs (another small thistle) be careful b/c they puncture the bag with no problem. I have to put something under the bag to protect it. Other than that it works great!

Ooze Tubes Saved Our New Trees,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 15 Gallon Ooze Tube Tree Watering
This product is a great idea! We planted both evergreen and fruit trees on a berm behind our house. Unfortunately, the water catch basins I dug quickly deteriorated due to the steepness of the slope. When we watered, the water would run right past the trees down the slope. During the winter months, the evergreens started turning brown and I thought they would die. I bought an ooze tube for each tree and staked them in on the slope above the trees (not around the trunk like the picture--which works great if you have flat ground). I would only fill them on warm days once every 1-2 weeks in the winter to reduce the chance of freezing. I also added an additional hole when needed so the bag would empty in 1-2 days instead of the 1-2 weeks they were designed for. I used a safety pin because the nail provided should only be used if you will fill the hole with the emitter provided. I am happy to say that because the ooze tubes slowly released the water, the water went down into the ground and the trees recovered in about 3 weeks. By spring, they were all happy campers and put out several inches of new growth. I am keeping the ooze tubes on year round now because there is less water wasted and they work great! I have put some smooth round river rocks inside the bags to keep the wind from blowing them around between fillings. The only negative issues I have are: the emitters sometimes pop out, and the price seems quite high for what seems like an inexpensive product to make. However, having said that, the product did work very well and I am sure our new trees would not have survived without them!
