By Peggy on September 24, 2014 I reside in Arizona and maintain a yard filled with many desert plants and trees but a limited watering system. For this reason, I was seeking a mobile water supplementation tool. I tried a tree bag but found it problematic. Therefore, I was excited to learn about the Drip Irrigation Rock – per the description it appeared to be a better match for my watering needs. I decided to try the five gallon rock. I was immediately impressed with their customer service because I received it just shortly after placing my order. I am so pleased with the Drip Irrigation Rock that I ordered two more. It does everything as described – the water trickles out, slowly, beneficially, and completely. It is also very easy to use – just fill and go (no batteries, electricity, or hose hook-up needed). I also appreciate its mobility ease – I use mine for several different plants – front and back as well as my trees.
If you are in need of a water supplementation tool, I highly recommend the Drip Irrigation Rock. I rate it five stars for its beneficial design and use as well as the company’s responsive customer service.
By John on August 26, 2015 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!

This rock is a great drip irrigation tool. I use it to water my vegetable garden with acceptable water. I like several features that it comes with and have had few issues, all of which are preventable and easily fixable.
I have found that everything grows better and tastes better when I use water that is not straight from the city pipes. I have tried using collected rain water, but that system is too unreliable and even if we do get a large rainfall, Its not good to keep water sitting around too long in containers; it grows slimy green stuff. So: I let city water sit in the sun 24-48 hrs then it is good to add to this system and use for my garden.
This system comes with just enough tubing to reach my 3 pot raised garden bed. IT is easy enough to get more tubing if I need more. The tubing is nice and flexible, easy for placing it where its needed.
The drip heads that come with the kit are adjustable (for dripping speed) and the caps come off to let out debris that might have gotten into the lines. If the lines clog up, its because I put water with debris in my system.
I find that I have to raise this rock up above the garden level to get enough pressure for it to run to the end.
IF I were to make suggestions, I would add a larger fill port, a stop cock, a few more drip heads and possibly heads with colors for easy id to make sure the system is dripping
Watering Rocks are an alternative watering solution that looks great in your garden and
serves as a Portable Watering System For Your Plants. Have you ever worried about that new plant, tree, or
shrub that you just planted getting enough water and nutrients? What about when you go
on vacation? What about those areas that don’t have an automatic watering source?
Have you ever wished that you didn’t have to water daily? If so, you would definitely
benefit from having a WR. Fill it from the easily accessible hole located on the top of
the rock, add nutrients if you choose, and your work is done. The 5 gallon rock can water
for 2-3 days depending on how slow you set the included 6 adjustable drippers.
People are buying these rocks for patios, box gardens, verandas, urban gardens, new
plantings, and areas they have trouble getting water to. They also help in geographic
areas that are imposing watering restrictions.
What do they do?
For garden areas that do not have a water source or if you wish to admonish the existing
sprinkler watering system, WRs provide a source for plants or areas that need additional
and more thorough watering needs. The main advantage of this container drip system is
that it waters; with additives should you choose, more thoroughly over a longer period of
time and at whatever rate you choose. You control the drip with the included adjustable
drippers. WRs may even save on water as they water more efficiently allowing the soil
time to absorb the water better. Water and additives are easily added through holes
located on the top back side of the rock. Holds approximately 5 gallons of water and nutrients.
Made in Denver and Manufactured in Cherryvale, Kansas, USA.
