DACK Root Feeder Deep Root Watering Spike 32" Stainless Steel with 3.5oz Fertilizer Bottle & Shut-Off Valve

The DACK Root Feeder is a stainless-steel deep-root watering and fertilizing spike that delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone up to 32 inches deep with adjustable flow and a 3.5 oz fertilizer bottle.

When surface watering or broadcast feeding isn’t getting nutrients to active roots, the DACK Root Feeder provides a targeted solution. Built for trees, shrubs, roses and larger container plants, this irrigation wand pushes through soil and gravel to place water and soluble fertilizer where roots actually absorb them. It reduces runoff and evaporation while making routine tree and shrub care faster and more efficient.

How does the DACK Root Feeder deliver water and fertilizer straight to roots?

The long, pointed stainless-steel spike inserts up to 32 inches into soil so water and dissolved fertilizer reach the active root zone instead of pooling on the surface. Four outlet holes near the tip disperse the liquid evenly and resist clogging.

• 32" insertion depth reaches deep feeder roots
• Four outlets near the tip for even distribution
• Pointed, solid tip designed to penetrate compacted soil and gravel
• 3.5 oz fertilizer bottle attaches to feed soluble nutrients

What makes this tool durable and easy to operate?

The wand is crafted from stainless steel with quality welding to resist rust and handle repeated driving into the ground. A T-handle gives comfortable leverage for insertion and removal, and an integrated shut-off valve lets you control flow without returning to the faucet.

• Stainless-steel construction for corrosion resistance
• T-handle for stable, controlled insertion and removal
• Shut-off valve for instant flow adjustment at the tool
• Welded joints to withstand outdoor use and pressure

Can I use it with or without fertilizer and how do I clean it?

You can run water only or add a soluble fertilizer to the bottle for combined irrigation and feeding. The feeder has a rinse mode for flushing lines and a design that minimizes clogging; periodic flushing with clean water keeps outlets clear after feeding cycles.

• Attach hose for watering only or mount 3.5 oz bottle for fertilizing
• Two modes: feeder (with fertilizer) and rinse (water-only)
• Shut-off valve simplifies switching and cleaning
• Flush with clean water after each fertilizer application to reduce residue

How does this tool conserve water and protect the landscape?

By placing moisture and nutrients beneath the surface, the root feeder cuts evaporation and run-off that wastes water and causes nutrient loss. Delivering liquid directly to roots supports plants in dry spells and helps new plantings establish faster with less surface soaking.

• Reduces surface evaporation compared with sprinklers
• Limits fertilizer run-off into surrounding soil and waterways
• Targets water to root zone for more efficient use
• Ideal for dry climates or windy conditions that increase evaporation

Who is this for: The DACK Root Feeder is designed for homeowners, landscapers and gardeners who care for trees, shrubs, roses and large plantings that need efficient deep watering and targeted fertilization. It’s especially useful for newly planted specimens, drought-prone areas, and anyone who wants to reduce surface runoff and improve nutrient uptake. Backed by a lifetime warranty from DACK, it’s a durable, user-friendly tool for routine plant maintenance and long-term landscape health.
