Ross Heavy Duty Metal Root Feeder – Deep Root Watering Tool & Fertilizer Injector (31.5in x 10in)

The Ross Heavy Duty Metal Root Feeder is designed to deliver water and nutrients directly to the soil below the surface, targeting the root zone where active growth occurs. By connecting a standard garden hose to the inline fertilizer dispenser and using a Ross pre-measured fertilizer cartridge, you can start a targeted feeding routine with minimal mess and fuss.

Durability meets practicality in its metal build, and the 31.5 inch length helps keep you safely within the canopy’s drip line while you work. The dispensing system is simple to operate: turn on the water, and adjust the flow until a gentle stream appears at the tip of the feed tube. Place the unit around the drip line in a circular ring under the outer branches, avoiding direct contact with the trunk. If the soil is dry, continue watering after the fertilizer has dissolved to ensure thorough soaking.

How it works

Inline fertilizer delivery places nutrients where active roots are growing, while the attached watering stake provides steady moisture. This combo is meant to reduce surface runoff and concentrate resources where trees and shrubs need them most. The adjustable flow lets you tailor watering and feeding to your landscape’s needs, making it adaptable for both moist seasons and drought scenarios.

Key benefits

• Targets nutrients at the root level for deeper feeding opportunities
• Minimizes fertilizer runoff and reduces water loss from evaporation
• Supports deeper root development for improved stability of trees and shrubs
• Adjustable flow for light or heavy watering, ideal during dry spells
• Mess-free refills and easy maintenance with pre-measured cartridges

Usage tips

• Insert the feeder at equal intervals along the drip line, never at the trunk base
• Use Ross pre-measured fertilizer refills to keep feeding simple and clean
• If soil moisture is low, extend the watering session after fertilizer dissolves to maximize uptake

Designed for regular outdoor use, the Ross Root Feeder supports a practical approach to garden care, helping you maintain healthy, vibrant trees and shrubs across seasons without overwatering or runoff when used as directed.
