Ooze Tube vs. Treegators, August 18, 2009
This review is from: Ooze Tube Tree Watering Tube - 25 Gallon
My kid's school has 7 new trees in the schoolyard that need a lot of water to stand up to the heat from the asphalt. I put in 6 Treegators and one Ooze Tube. The Treegators are much easier to set up: zip them up and fill. The Ooze Tube requires driving in a stake and punching in some drip heads, which is somewhat fussy. The main advantage I see to the Ooze Tube is that it is not supported by the tree trunk as much as the Treegator, and there's a little more breathing room around the trunk. The Ooze Tube distributes the water a little farther from the trunk and you have a choice of where it goes, since you put the drip heads in yourself. The Treegator releases the water right next to the trunk. Both of them drip water at a nice slow rate, so it soaks in rather than running off the soil.
Both systems are far, far better than standing next to the tree for half an hour with a dripping hose! Or watering normally and watching the water run off...

Ooze tube tree watering-try something else, May 31, 2009
This review is from: Ooze Tube Tree Watering Tube - 25 Gallon
It worked, but I did not care for how it looked. There are other products available that I'm sure would do a better job. It also retained water by not completely emptying the contents.
