Plant Watering Stakes And Watering Globes Review | So Easily Distracted
The reviewer reports that the stakes work for keeping soil evenly moist near the roots, but observes they release a fixed amount of water regardless of soil dryness. They recommend careful setup, specifically soaking the stake before use and avoiding excessive weight from the reservoir bottle to prevent cracking.
