Aqua Globes?

I think thats the name of those as seen on TV things.

I bought some the other day, and they are really ugly but I think they work. It says 2 weeks of watering, but I put two into a large window basket and it seems like one is empty every other day. Its been really hot though...

Anyone else using these? I wish they made them in clear!

Re: Aqua Globes?

  • They actually apply water to one very small area, not the whole root zone.
  • I see those on tv too.  I'm sad to hear they are ugly... I was hoping to find something that was a little more hidden away rather than having a large ball staring out from my plants!  If you see something less intrusive, please post!!

    I use ollas in my garden and with my container plants.  (There is a great blog entry here explaining the ollas - http://www.ecobackyard.com/?cat=4 ). Eventually I'll get the ollas hooked up to drip system off my water harvesting barrels....

    I love the ollas becaus ethe clay acts as a natural regulator to keep the water rate constant.  In the middle of teh desert, I only have to fill them twice a week. And the veggies and perrenials are definitely happy.
  • I was just at bed bath and beyond and they sell the 2 pack for i think $9.99 for the aqua globes.
