In defense of Aqua Cone, there appears an asterisk on the packaging which states: " not recommended for vacation watering" Fair enough, but also precisely why I bought them in order to deliver precious drops of H2O to my balcony plants while away for couple of weeks or so.

Well, I punched out two holes under soil type "clay" and inverted the water bottle( 2-liter used ginger-ale) and within 20 minutes, the plant had slaked its thirst and I stood aghast. Two weeks away, how will this ever work? Enter the lowly house sponge: I cut a sliver from a big floor sponge and wetted it and then jammed it into the cone with a screwdriver and inverted the 2-liter container and rammed her home. I marked the high-water mark on the side of the container and sat back to observe. Well, now some 5 hours later, the water is slowly, but surely irrigating the plant. I'd say, at this rate, it should go a week, maybe longer, so progress is at hand and I feel product might work. Other thoughts, if you want to slow water delivery, punch out just 1 of 2 holes or punch it out with very fine nail for small-bore hole.

Happy watering...

These cones are a cheap solution if you need to water your plants slowly. My solution to the cones draining water too quickly from my two liter soda bottle is to put about a teaspoon of Soil Moist Granules in the bottle before adding water. The granules will expand and absorb the water and float to the bottom of the cone. The expanded granules will block the water in the bottle from coming out quickly but still releases the water slowly. One 2L bottle should easily last at least a couple of weeks.

I like these because you don't have to screw them on like ones I bought from another company. Plus you have a choice of 3 levels to punch holes in, and they're very sturdy, I use them in my topsy turvy tomato planter and strawberry planter.

This system of watering plants does not work well!. It seems that they either drain the water TOO FAST or NOT AT ALL!. I still have some Spikes that I have not/will not attempt to put to use.

This is my 2nd attempt to use a product of this kind. I have talked with friends who experienced poor results also.
