These are a great product. I have had them for about 6 months and the work great. Gardening Care's last blog post..Building a Compost Bin

I like the idea of this product and have quite a few. Unfortunately I have to continually adjust the rate and clean out the tip that goes in the soil because they don't always drain like they are supposed to. If you have any tips that might help me I would love to hear them. Compulsive Shopper's last blog post..Petunia Pickle Bottom

So glad I found this post. I saw some of these contraptions while walking around my neighborhood and couldn’t figure out what they were. I’m new to gardening so have lots to learn. Now I have a name for them! Drip Spikes…thanks!

Interesting post. I have never tried these but have been tempted. Maybe now ill be the time. I am on the road a lot so if they work it would be a big help. Larry Cowling's last blog post..Mantis Tiller Cultivator-A little Machine that Tackles big jobs

What a great idea. I’m not a gardener but my wife is out there every day. I’ll have to pass this information on to her. Of course, then I’ll probably have to find out where to buy them here in the states.

Wow, drill spikes sound very interesting because I am currently a student and don’t have much time watering my plants in the front yard, I could install drill spikes. But I have a question, Does drill spike replace watering my plants with a pitcher? I don’t want to give you an image that i am lazy but I tend to forget about my plants.

These sound like exactly what I need! We go through long dry spells here, and I feel like I waste a lot of water when I use a sprinkler on the plants.

I’ve looked at these in catalogs every year – thought they looked interesting. Maybe this will be the year I buy them. thanks for the article on them, as I always wondered if they worked well.

These Drip Spikes were purchased online from http://gardenexpress.com.au/ in the Gardening Care>Watering section. This company is pretty good to deal with & as yet no plants have died that I have bought from them. I have purchased seedlings with them which I enjoy looking after now that they are growing into beutiful children… Um, er I mean plants!
I believe similar products are available at Bunnings Warehouse as well as other good Hardware/Gardening stores.
These Drip Spikes were the surprise I spoke of in an earlier comment here hehehe.

I'll have to give those a try this year. A high travel job makes gardening challenging. Cromely's last blog post..Baseball season starting

Oooh, I haven’t seen the ones with controlled drip speed!
We’ve just got the garden variety (pun intended) “stick ‘em in the ground and fill the bottle” type.
Good to see you back online and hope the move went smoothly !
