Rural Gardening
Do you live out there where the deer and the antelope play? Do you have some acreage around you and have decided to plant some trees and also a garden? Rural gardening is very rewarding but presents some watering problems unique to living out away from the hustle and bustle.
What about those areas that don't have an automatic watering source?
The answer is a portable drip system package.
Are you searching for a portable watering system?
For all of these reasons, we have developed a Portable Water Tank called a Watering Rock. It is a proven solution that will water when and where you can’t.
The solution is a Watering Rock Portable Automatic Irrigation Drip System. This sturdy durable plastic(no BPA) rock comes in decorative White Granite and Sandstone colors.
They are lightweight( 4lbs empty) and measure 12” high, 14” deep and 16” wide. Believe or not that size holds 5 gallons of water and if you want added nutrients.
Did you know?
Watering Rocks are UV resistant, durable and light weight (just 4 pounds empty) making them easy to handle?
That 5 gallons will water for 2-3 days and provide plenty of moisture for your plants as it slowly drips water 24/7, day and night . That saves you 3-4 days of watering.
The system includes 15 feet of 1/4” drip line to carry the water, six -1/4” adjustable drippers to control the amount of drip you want to the area you want, five – 1/4” Tbarbs to make branches off the line to the areas you want to water, and one threaded 1/4” barb to screw into the threaded hole on the bottom back of the rock for the main line hook up.
Sounds complicated but is not once you see how the components work together to design the watering configuration you desire. Assembly usually takes maybe a half hour and we are always available to assist by email or website.
Watering Rocks...
…water more efficiently and thoroughly because of the continuous drip.
We like to use our ATV to load rocks either on the ATV when we only have 1 or 2 or in the wagon, we pull behind for multiple rocks. They are durable and handle well as we transport them to the house water hose, fill them up, add any fertilize we want and replace. The rocks fill up quickly with a hose that fits in the 1” hole on the top backside of the rock. You can also take water to the rock and fill it easily if you have a 2-gallon watering can with the spray nozzle removed, leaving the 1” nozzle head that fits into the watering rock fill hole.
Do you want water for more than 2-3 days?
Use one Watering Rock to fill the other rock and double the watering time. Another to triple watering times. We thought about manufacturing a 25-gallon rock and may someday but felt the 5 gallon was the best size to start with and offers the most flexibility for size and configuration.
Watering Rocks...
…require no electricity which means no extension cords or expensive power installations.
These rocks have proven themselves many times and there are some excellent testimonials and reviews out there to confirm that they do work and do work well. The rocks use pressure from volume in the rock and gravity to facilitate the water flow which makes them completely portable and require no electric.
Just make sure the drip lines are flat to downward sloping. If you need your water to go vertical see another product Hanging Basket Automatic Portable Irrigation Drip Systems( includes an electric pump).
These rocks are offered by many vendors on Amazon, Ebay, Walmart.com and other websites at prices that are much lower than the plants you want to save. You can visit www.watering-rocks for a complete list of where to buy, pictures, videos, helpful hints, and reviews. Contact us if you have any questions or concerns about our time-saving Watering Rocks.
With this tool, you now will have the freedom to plant anywhere in your yard. When you are not watering plants you can use a Watering Rock to fill animal water bowls, birdbaths, Christmas trees, or anything that needs to have water consistently added.
Maybe, this is what you have been looking for. Get one and try it. We are sure you will be happy you did and so will your plants.

What They Say
I recently hung a couple hanging flower planters from my back deck. It was a little awkward reaching up to water them everyday. I found the Watering Rock and that solved the problem! The Rock sits on top of my deck with the tubing running down to the planters. Much easier!

What They Say
Good for our needs, fake rock looks good in garden, being able to fill it up and water five plants on a bit of a hillside/ bank works out quite well for our needs, set up is easy, you just have to play with the drip rate. Like the idea of this, saves watering some areas that don’t need water, ie dirt,rocks in yard. gets to the base or rink around plants.
