What kind of Urban Garden do you have? Do you live in a high rise where they accommodate growing gardens on the rooftop or even have a small garden on your veranda? Do you have a square foot garden or one of those large container gardens?

Maybe you have carved out a section of your yard for gardening with an added small greenhouse. Are you participating in your HOA or community gardens. You may also have some chickens, rabbits or other small animals. Are you searching for a way to automatically keep them watered?

Urban gardening has become extremely popular and there is a ton of information and books available out there.

One thing all gardens need is water. Urban gardens watering needs are no different than anywhere else except that urban gardeners’ lifestyles can be demanding and time-consuming. Watering Rocks can provide a watering solution that will help keep plants watered, even with a busy schedule.

Hello to all of you who are tired of vegetables that have no taste and very strangely never ripen. To those of you who have access to community gardens, patio planters, square foot gardens, or rooftop gardens and want to grow your own tasty morsels.

My quest as I began to experiment with different alternatives to water my Denver Suburb garden, roses, and new plantings led me on the path I now find myself with Watering Rocks.

Planting seemed to me to be the easy part. The hard part that follows is the stress and worry of making sure they get enough daily watering and nutrition. If you are not busy and never go anywhere then you probably look forward to the pleasure and enjoyment of pulling out the 100 feet of hose and giving your little friends a good drenching. Don’t forget to wind back up.

Then there is the other worry of “OH NO” watering restrictions which come our way here in Colorado often.

Urban Garden drip irrigation watering solution.

What if there was a way to reduce this responsibility as much as possible, maybe to 2 or 3 times a week. What about a way to add nutrients to my full time watering help. What if I could use captured greywater as much as possible.

Thus, the evolution of a Watering Rock. From a tin can to concrete made variations which almost killed me carrying around and marketing, to the current HDDP plastic version.

Watering Rocks are aesthetically appealing( Sandstone and White Granite), holds 5 gallons of water, lightweight (<4lbs empty), requires no electric( uses gravity and water pressure from the pyramid shape), comes with 15′of 1/4″ drip line, 6 adjustable drippers, and all the necessary components to make it work( easy assembly, FAQ’s on the website, and of course we are always available to answer questions or address any problems}.

I planted 5 fruit trees last year in pretty bad soil, in the direct Colorado sun at 7000 feet altitude. I did not have a hose long enough to reach the trees. I used 1 rock at each tree with Annie Haven’s MooPooTea and filled once or twice a week depending on MY time available and weather conditions. I now have 2 apple, 2 pear, 1 plum, and 1 peach tree well established. I also use them for my 2 blackberry, 1 raspberry, and 4 grape plants.

My routine involves getting my Honda ATV with trailer behind, picking up the rocks and putting in trailer, driving to my spigot hose outlet, filling rocks with 5 gallons each, driving to plants, replacing at plants, placing hose at the base of plant, and final check to make the desired drip is happening, leave for 2-3 days or more depending on weather. Also, hint, make a small hole in the dirt 1-2 inches at the base of the plant so moisture will get to the roots easier and seep below the surface and last longer.
