InstructionsFAQ
- QUESTION: Can an Oooze Tube like the TWK40 be used on a slope?
- ANSWER: Slopes can be challenging, but here are a few suggestions:
- 1. First, if a new tree is planted properly on a slope, there should be a level "shelf" on which the Ooze Tube can sit (the surface of the root ball).
- 2. The Ooze Tube does NOT have to be wrapped around the tree; so if the slope is severe and there is no level ?shelf?, the user can install the Ooze Tube above the tree, and install the dripper on the outside of the Ooze Tube ?donut? where it drips on the uphill side of the rootball. Gravity and soil capillary action pulls the water where it is needed.
- 3. If you have access to the top of the hill, you could install the Ooze Tube at the top of the hill? sometimes, in a straight line so that it holds a lot more water (the full 40 gallons). Then, they will install the drippers on the outside of the bag and attach 1/4? drip tubing (our PT141) to the dripper discharge. Then run the drip tubing down the hill, to the tree. By doing this, you no longer have to drag hoses on the side of the hill to refill the bags. Just go to the top of the hill and fill the bags.

Customer Reviews
The product is great but I could have used 4 more emitters for each of my two tubes for my vegetable garden.
We use tree gators when planting new trees and they work great. I was hoping these would work as well as they did. I was very disappointed. I would not recommend them. A soaker hose works a lot better.
This is a great idea, but didn't live up to my expectations. I travel a lot in the summer and thought this was a great way to keep my garden alive when I was away. It worked early in the season, but the plastic did not hold up well enough to hold the emitters tightly, so the water leaked out too quickly around the emitters. Will not work for another season! I might try the bags next year, as they look like they are made of a tougher material. Again, great idea, poor execution!
Really keeps the hydrating worries under control. Does a large area and you can position the emitters any place for optimum watering. Rolls up easily for the next use or storage.
The product did NOT work as depicted. The tubes are located in such obscure locations and with such short tubing that using the product was difficult, and the supposed watering of the plants simply did not happen as the product is described. What it did do was give mosquitoes an open space to get into the water and breed. We removed the bags and threw them away. Very disappointed.
