These work pretty well. You need to make sure the bottle is the right size. I find a 2 L pop bottle are the best for my needs. Anything smaller isn't worth the trouble to put it in. Does water like a drip system. Good for a couple of days anyway. I would get more if I need them.

The ingenuity of people never ceases to amaze! We bought these to help with watering when we are away for an extended period of time. Depending on how long you�re away you might to use pretty big bottles, even though these allow you to set very slow drip times. Don�t forget to puncture the top of the bottle to allow the water to flow.

Great gadget for the price! From all the plastic water spikes I looked at, this is the one that seems the most well make. It has a hole already punched in and it has turning knob built in so it's ready to go. My mother stole half of them already. Works best with middle size 1L Coca Cola or Fanta plastic bottle.

I purchased this to help keep my plants watered while I was at work and away on vacation. There were several days last summer that I would water my plants in the morning and by the time I got home from work I would spend an hour watering again!! I wanted to be prepared this summer in case we get another extremely hot spell! We went on vacation a few weeks ago and I used these on a few of my plants and they worked great! I wouldn't count on them being the only means of watering, but I love how I can adjust the flow. Because some of my plants like alot of water, whereas others do not. I had purchased the clay type too, but they proved to be too fragile. I broke one simply attempting to put it in the potting soil, which was not hard! I would recommend these to anyone needed an extra hand with plants!

I have used water globes for years during the summer to help keep outside plants watered. Having the guards to keep dirt from plugging up the tubes will greatly help. I appreciate the funnel too and am looking forward to using them.

saw this same set (sans the plastic covers and funnels) for almost 2x the price - decided to take a risk, and it was well worth it. i bought two sets. they're beautiful. they appear to be hand-blown. no two globes are alike. these are pretty enough to use as decoration. they're designed to supplement watering- not to replace it. the adorable instructions even warn you against leaving your plants for an extended vacation. fantastic value for the price! get em now, b4 they up the price! will upload pics as soon as i can!

I have been using these for about 4 days. So far the drip rate has been consistent after I adjusted it to what I wanted. They are easy to use. I am using a 1L bottle. It is not top heavy. Would like to try a 2L bottle, but have not had a chance to. I think they will be good for a weeks vacation, but it is hard to tell without trying at the temperatures I will have in the summer. Happy so far!

I had to test these watering spikes before going on vacation and so far I am happy with the result. Its a bit tricky to make it bubble very slow, but I used this tip to unscrew the valve and put a small piece of nylon and it made it easier to adjust for one bubble every 5-6 seconds. It stoped bubbling after an hour or so, but in the morning the water was less, so it seem to work as expected. I'm ready for my trip now.

Product is awesome. At first I did not think so. Didn�t fit my water or Diet Pepsi bottles. After a little tinkering, figured it out. Some plastic bottles (Diet Pepsi) has a little ring around the mouth you have to remove so it doesn�t leak. Work perfectly. Now we are also using very large orange juice bottles (89 ounce simply orange juice bottles). Not the most attractive things but rather come home to that than dead plants! Recommend, may need a little patience to get it perfect!
