Easy Way To Water Young Trees CROPS Miscellaneous 33-2-7 Plastic landscape edging can be used to form a water basin around young trees, says Rex Gogerty, Hubbard, Iowa.
He curves the plastic into a ring to whatever diameter he wants and then clamps the ends together.
"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."
