There comes a point where it becomes impractical to extend a drip irrigation line too far into your yard or to a remote setting of your landscape. A Gator Bag installed around your trees and shrubs can alleviate this problem. Gator Bags are made of a green UV-protected plastic that hold water to release over a period of time. The water is released via two small holes at the bottom of the bag which eliminates any run off.

STEP 1

• Place back of bag against trunk, with zippers on the uphill side of tree
• Wrap both sides around trunk until zippers meet together
• Zip both sides of bag together from bottom to top

STEP 2

• Lift up tag at top of bag to expose fill opening
• Insert water hose (up to 3" dia.), into fill opening, turn on water supply and begin filling
• Fill bag only to approximately 1/4 capacity, then proceed to Step 3 below

STEP 3

• Gently lift up on the two black straps at top of bag in order to fully expand bottom
• Do not hang or suspend bag by black straps
• If desired, add pre-mixed water soluble fertilizer and/or nutrients

STEP 4

• Fill bag with water to desired level and let drain. Bag will be empty in approximately 5 to 9 hours
• Fill bag every 2 days
