This is a 4-pk of the DIY Root Seeker with 4 Reservoir Plugs added. The red Plugs are an optional feature used to reseal your bucket once the grommet is installed. With this kit you'll get 4 Root Seekers, 4 Rubber Grommets, and 4 red Plugs. Done correctly, your "home-built" systems will work as good as ours!

System Set-up and Use
- Push injector firmly into root-well just to the side of root ball
- For larger trees, use 3 units around the dripline
- Remove injector cap and toss it into reservoir
- Line up reservoir hole with injector and press down firmly
- Fill with water and any desired supplements
- 10" long injector soaks the root-well downward and outward
- Drain time is faster while settling the soil on new plantings
