A Trickle Ring is a sturdy and simple twelve-inch
diameter irrigation ring that connects to a garden hose! Flex the high-density
plastic ring around a tree or shrub with holes facing UP or DOWN
and turn on the water.
Adjust the trickle rate to match the
ideal absorption rate of your mulch and soil. A slow trickle can efficiently
distribute 5 gallons in 20 minutes!
Minimize wasteful run-off and direct
water to the root perimeter!
Water will evenly saturate the soil,
spreading down and out around your planting. Conceal it with mulch or watch
it work!
Spreads to fit larger trunk
diameters while retaining circular shape.
Conserve water and help your trees and
shrubs survive droughts!
Trickle Ring Flexes Open Around Trunk....
and Returns to Circular Shape.

Use one ring and move it around the
yard as needed OR connect several together with hoses and "Y" fittings to form
a simple, economical, and highly efficient irrigation network!
How
to Build a Simple Irrigation network
Simply put the rings at the
locations you wish to irrigate, lay out garden hose, "Y" connectors, and some
hose repair sets between the rings.
Cut the garden hose to the
appropriate length, clamp on the new male or female hose repair parts, thread
the components together and move on down the line to the next assembly.
See Example in Picture Below.
This way, you can adjust the flow to
each individual Trickle Ring from the main supply line that you put together!
Add on to it from any point and modify it as your irrigation needs change.

*This is an example of an 8 Tree
Irrigation Network including 5 Norway Spruce, 1 Pink Dogwood, 1 White Dogwood,
and 1 Purple Leaf Plum. After 2 growing seasons, the network was removed
and the trees are thriving!
Trickle Rings and fittings can be concealed with
mulch and connecting hoses may be hidden under turf, if desired.
