Product Info
An environmentally friendly way to water large trees and shrubs by delivering water directly to their roots underground.
The Hoselink Root Waterer & Soil Breaker attaches to your hose via the free Hoselink connector. As you start to depress the pole into the ground, press the trigger to release water. This will help the pole easily go into the ground to water roots.
By watering the roots of plants, you'll avoid wasting water through evaporation and ensure water is delivered directly to the roots.
You can also use this method to break up hard soil, making the removal of weeds or plants much easier.
The Root Water & Soil Breaker comes pre-fitted with a Hoselink Accessory Connector (12mm) for a quick and easy connection to your Hoselink fitted hose.
Special mention: We'd like to thank James Watkins for inventing this product.
This product comes with a Hoselink connector included for quick connection to your Hoselink-fitted garden hose. If you are new to Hoselink then you will need to either convert your hose to Hoselink no-burst fittings (we recommend the Water Wise Starter Kit) or alternatively you can unscrew the Hoselink connector from this device and replace it with a standard click-on style male connector (please note we do not sell these).

AustraliaThis is the main item I brought from my friend because it is so much more effective than spraying the surface and hoping the water will get down to the roots. This way you know it does.
AustraliaI love the root waterer. No more water wasted on watering foliage or mulch.
AustraliaThe product works great. I'm very happy with it -thank you! My only slight annoyance is the the following regarding the product advertising. I am new to Hoselink and unfamiliar with the Hoselink exclusive connector system. When I read on the product page "The Hoselink Root Waterer & Soil Breaker attaches to your hose via the free Hoselink connector" that sounded like something that enabled me to connect it to my existing mainstream hose attachment straight away (like I could a standard spray gun) not that I also needed another part (now I know to be the Hoselink hose end connector OR acquire a standard 3/4″ (25mm) Bsp male thread hose adapter to fit my existing attachment) to do that. After reading your customer reviews and seeing the one from the person who believed the same as me and needed to wait until their next pension payment to get the hose end connector plus Hoselink's response, I worked out I could unscrew the 3/4″ (25mm) Bsp male thread bit from my mainstream spray gun. I would have bought the hose end connector in my original shipment had I known it was needed but i'm not prepared to pay for it plus shipping in a second shipment. My suggestion for the product page is to have a statement that clearly states that the order does not include a hose end connector and that the intended user will need to either have a Hoselink hose end connector to connect to the provided connector or a standard 3/4″ (25mm) Bsp male thread hose adapter to connect to existing standard hose attachments. I think it would really avoid customer confusion.
AustraliaSo far so good. Easy to put together and to use.
AustraliaTh e water probe is truly amazing...just sorting out bamboo sticks to mark the hole for the probe..maybe you could market the medium sticks...for me cutting the sticks has been a challenge as I no longer live on a farm and hence no tools...not a major problem ...however the probe is fantastic and keeping me smiling during this awful time....many thanks.
AustraliaIt was a gift for my mum, she was so happy to receive it.
AustraliaIn looking for a root waterer, I found other vendors no longer offer such a tool. I have a number of Hoselink reels, connectors, etc. so it was an easy choice. It works well enough. I do find that I often have to change location to avoid small stones in the soil as it stops progression downward. Occasionally, I get a piece of mulch in the tube that can be tough to dislodge. Having said that, I have many shrubs and trees that appreciate the attention.
AustraliaThis is a great product for deep watering , and I’ve used it on all my trees. You have to be gentle when pushing the rod into the ground and move if you hit a rock or root , but it is easy to use. It might be the saviour of the trees and deep rooted shrubs in my garden in this hot summer
AustraliaFantastic, an extraordinary product. Works so well and saves so much water. Quality construction too.
AustraliaDid exactly what I wanted it to do Easy to s Saved my back bending over
