How can i water trees if i can't go there every day?

Question

I'll plant trees this spring, but the place (field) is very far from where i live now. What can i do, so the trees won't die?

Answer 1

You'll need to water them. Not every day but every third for sure and for the first month at least.(if you use mulch the water will stay at the roots longer)You will just have to find a way.
sorry I couldn't help more

Answer 2

Put in a sprinkler system with a timer. This way you can set the timer for what days and the amount of time you want the trees to be watered. It will water your trees if your there or not.......and most have a rain sensor,so if it rains the sprinkler system won't come on. Other wise if you don't water enough you have a chance of losing those trees.Hope it works out for you .

Answer 3

take a 1-2 gallon heavy plastic jug and poke a couple of holes in the sides of it right at the bottom. bury one of these at the base of each tree with just the neck sticking out of the ground far enough to get the lid back on it., and fill them with water every couple of days. the water will slowly trickle out to give longer-lasting watering to the trees. if it's too far to visit once or twice a week,you will need some sort of timer system or a friend to look after them for you.

Answer 4

Possible solutions:

1) ask someone or several people who live or work closer, to water them for you, and you can take turns;

2) Keep the trees in planters in your house until they grow big enough to be more able to survive without daily watering (big trees, in north america anyway, don't typically need daily watering).

3) set up a sprinkler on a timer? You'd need a nearby faucet and some kind of timer.

4) plant the trees closer to you.

5) All the jokes about rain dances, etc...

Answer 5

They make a device that you put around the tree a type of ring that holds water for up to 3 days and slowly releases it on to the root ball of the tree. Home Depot and Lowes sell them or maybe any other type of home improvement or hardware store

Answer 6

hook up a dripper system, put in spikes that slowly release water, use water saving crystals.
in australia at the moment a lot of us have water restrictions,. we arent allowed to wash our cars and are only allowed to water our gardens twice a week at certain times of the day. this means everything is dying. 100 year old trees in the melbourne cbd are dying.
you can buy these water crystal things that you wet and they slowly release the water. or a wetting agent. try that

Answer 7
