    I like to use these to encourage deep root growth for my plants. I usually put them all the way to the bulb and water the plant till the soil is saturated and that usually gets the roots growing after planting, then as the soil dries out the roots chase the moisture deeper to the depth where i put the bulb, and thus far, my potted plants love it

    I saw reviews online of some people saying it would immediately drain the whole thing when they put it in and others said that would happen unless they put it in correctly… what’s correctly?

    If the soil is too loosely packed it may drain too quickly. If the orb is firmly seated in the soil it should not drain immediately. It took a bit of practice for me to find the right balance.

    Ok but how the hell do you fill 30 at a time without it being a painstaking process involving a trickle from the sink or a syringe. I wanted to fill mine with miracle grow fertilizer mixture. I used a galles jug and sheer will- and it took a full 30 mins to fill them. I had to pour it over a bug bowl and siphon the water back into the hub several times. Help.
