Root Waterer & Soil Breaker Reviews

4.8 Rating 159 Reviews
I recently purchased the Root Waterer and Soil Breaker and have been very happy with it's operation. I did have a slightly similar product Nylex but the root breaker has a longer shaft larger diameter and a is a stronger product. At present we have had good rainfall but I am sure when rainfall is low it will water shrubs lawn and garden beds more efficiently and with no run off waste of water

The Hoselink root waterer and soil breaker does exactly what it claims. I have a very dry lawn area and was able to water 150mm to 200mm below the ground where the roots are. The holes also act as aerators and allow the sprinklers to get water where it is needed. A top product!

I am impressed with this product, it is sturdy and a good length. I very quickly discovered that the water pressure must be turned right down otherwise it sprays right out of the hole and back on me, which is not too bad on a hot summer's day except when it splashes on my glasses. A very good product which certainly saves water.

Knowing that the plants are getting the water they need at the depth they need especially through a particularly dry season is reassuring. so much water can be wasted by surface watering, how many times have we watered the garden then scratched the surface to find that it is still dry underneath. we had to try plunging the rod a few times in the same spots to get to the depth required because our ground was dry and hard, the only concern was that the tube is made from light metal and wouldn't take the pressure required to penetrate the soil but it did.

We have just planted out our new garden. This Root Waterer is just the thing for getting the trees off to a good start without watering all the bare areas and wasting water. Very easy to use. Once again the fabulous easy on, easy off design of Hoselink wins the day. Water direct to the roots.

I bought this fitting for my mother and selfishly kept it for myself. Its just the best thing for saving water, and getting the water down to the roots of the plant. I no longer need to 'plant' bottles into the ground to store the water because the attachment gets the water to where it is needed. It is robust, easy to assemble and very easy to use. Where the soil is hard, Ive persevered and the plants now get a good drink. I no longer use the multi-spray fitting as it seems to waste water.

I purchased the Root Waterer & Soil Breaker for our fruit trees but realised it is also perfect for deep watering of our raised gardening beds. As always great quality item, fast delivery and good price.
