Root Quencher gets at the heart of your root watering problem
Install a Root Quencher device underground next to the plant you want to water and connect it to your existing irrigation system or hose as a standalone device. Water fills the chamber or spike and wicks out the holes to nourish the roots of your plants.
Root Quencher comes in full size, Junior size and a Spike. The full size is designed to be adjustable for trees and large plants. The junior size is designed for shrubs and medium-sized plants. The spike is designed for small plants and garden beds.
Installing Root Quencher Spike
Quencher Spike needs to be pushed underground about six inches and connected to a water source. The Spike can easily connect to a quarter-inch drip line via the 90-degree fitting found in the cap or pierce a half-inch drip line. We recommend you control these drip lines with a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller or Smart Hose timer.
Once you are connect to a water source, you should adjust the flow rate as needed by twisting the head of the spike. You can also remove the head to add fertilizer directly to the soil.
At the end of the day, every yard is different, so please refer to the owner's manual when installing your Root Quencher Spike and contact a pro if you need a hand.
