Cool Product

While walking around aimlessly in Home Depot, I came across a pretty cool product. A root feeder for trees from a company called Ross (Easy Gardener, Inc.) I have an anemic pine tree in my front yard so it will be interesting to see if this product is effective in greening it up.

Feeding tree roots is normally a real pain. You have to auger a hole and fill it with granular fertilizer and water in.

The Ross Root Feeder connects to a hose (or as they say in Louisiana, a "hose pipe") and inserts about a foot into the ground. You load it with fertilizer tablets and turn the water on and let the water pressure do the work. A simple and good idea.

See this link. Price was about 24 bucks for the feeder and then you have to buy the tablets and a package of 54 tablets is $8.67 at Home Depot. It took 24 tablets to feed my pine tree that is about 12" in diameter.
