Easy Way To Water Young Trees
![]() |

"It's a simple way to control runoff," says Gogerty. "The plastic edging is about 5 in. high and is sold in sections 6 to 12 ft. long. I used the idea last year when I planted a small tree in my yard. I put mulch inside the ring and then poured water out of a 5-gal. bucket. The ring keeps the water from running off and reduces the frequency of watering. New trees can cost $100 or more, so you want to give them all the help you can."
