Get your plants into shape with Root Feeder

Consider watering with deep feeding systems to
conserve water and prevent drought damage.

It�s time for training for your plants! Proper nutrition is at the core of any good training program � for people and plants. One of the best things you can do for your trees and shrubs is to give them the vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy when dry weather arrives.

Another thing that�s essential to an effective training program is getting plenty of water. Again, this holds true with trees and shrubs. Over the past few years, many areas of this country have been plagued with drought year-round. Deep feeding systems can be useful as there is no water run-off or surface evaporation. So, you can prevent drought damage while conserving water. Even when we are experiencing dry conditions, water conservation is wise; you�ll save money and preserve a precious natural resource.

Getting your plants into shape now is the key to their good health in the future. One piece of training �equipment� you�ll need to properly hydrate and give your plants the nutrients they need is a Root Feeder. This deep-feeding system is specially designed to water and fertilize below the surface where the active roots grow.

To get your deep watering system up and running, purchase a Root Feeder from a local lawn and garden center. The rest is simple � connect a garden hose to the feeder and insert the feeding tube into the soil around the dripline. Then fill the fertilizer chamber with appropriate fertilizer tablets and let water flow through to the roots. Refills are available for a variety of plants, shrubs and trees.

These easy-to-use tablets ensure that your plants will receive the proper nutrition, and you won�t have to fool with the mess, hazards and smells of spray and granular fertilizers.

Getting your plants into shape for the warm months ahead is a great idea and it�s so easy to do. If you stick with a preseason training program, you�ll find your plants flourishing come summer time.
