Planters' Pride, a division of the HC Companies Inc., has released “GreenWell”, a well that helps direct water deep into the roots of trees to reduce watering time and usage. This new product is made from recycled plastic polypropylene, and its patented zip joint helps ease installation and reuse.
The GreenWell has the capacity to hold seven gallons of water, and it is generally put around newly planted trees, although it can also be used for roses, herbs, bulbs, shrubs or tomatoes. In addition to saving water, the GreenWell also works on sloping uneven ground and acts as an edging, which prevents fertilizer and/or mulch from being scattered. With no run off or evaporation, the GreenWell can help reduce water waste by up to 25 percent.The GreenWell is UV treated and comes in either black or green, and is available for purchase in North America.
