What if you rigged something with a water bottle similar to those automated pet water bowls? 12/15/2010 3:24:24 PM |

I, too, am getting sick of watering the tree.
And the stand we have for it barely holds 20oz of water, so I have to water ours 2-3 times a day

you could hook up a separate container with a hose that drains into the tree stand.... at least it stops you from having to crawl under the branches every time 12/15/2010 4:35:52 PM |

I've never seen a tree stand as deep as a 5 gal bucket... Not sure what they are going for with the siphon thing 12/15/2010 5:15:34 PM |
