1st step
Mounting on the tree
Attach the bag and fill it
Place the tree bath around the tree trunk* and then close the zipper. If necessary, attach the lock now. Insert the water hose** deep into the opening of the tree bath.
Then fill the tree bath with approx. 5-10 liters of water and then shake it up slightly using the black loops***. This is important so that the drip holes do not become blocked and the water can drain out of the bag.
Then fill the bag completely. Alternatively, the drip holes can also be opened in the folds on the left and right with one hand movement****. (Video below)
* (for tree trunks with a circumference of max. 30 cm)
** (not included in the delivery)
*** (for water hoses up to 4 inches in circumference)
**** (do not lift)
1) Place the bag around the trunk

3) Fill with water

The tree watering bags are constructed so that water drips out of two holes at the bottom folds. These holes are one on the left and one on the right. If these are not correctly positioned by shaking during filling, the water will drain more slowly than in 6 to 9 hours.
So please watch the video again on how to shake the bags correctly.
Solutions for slow emptying:
1) Check whether the material is slightly stuck together in these places and try to pick there.
2)It may be that the bags are in a hollow/cavity around the tree
stand? Then please check here too whether the material closes the holes in this position. The holes can then be exposed by lightly plucking. We'll show you how to do this in the following video.

What is a tree watering bag? How do I fill it? What needs to be taken into account when using it? How can I secure it against theft? What is drip irrigation? What are the benefits of watering with a tree watering bag? In this video we answer all of these questions about the baumbad tree watering bag. We'll show you how easy watering is with an irrigation bag and what you should pay attention to when using it in order to get the best watering result and thus support your trees in the best possible way.
Attach anti-theft device
After closing the zipper, attach the padlock through the eyelets and then fill the bag. Never attach or remove the lock to a filled bag!
We recommend at least a 50 mm lock, but a 45 mm lock can also be used but requires more fine-tuning. An example of this is the Burgwächter 770 HB 30 45.
If you need to do it faster because the bags have to be changed frequently on the trees, we recommend a 65 mm lock.
An example of this is the Burgwächter 770 HB 40 65 mm.
To avoid damage, please pay attention to the lock size!
Lock size: shackle height of at least 50 mm and shackle diameter of max. 6 mm
Easily connect several watering bags with the zipper
Tree too thick?
Bags can be set up individually
Bags can be set up individually
There may not be enough tree bags to connect a thick tree in the combination. Branches and branches that are located where the irrigation bag is normally placed around the tree have a similar problem. In such a case, the bag can also be placed next to the tree to be watered. The best way to do this is with a wooden pole, bamboo pole or a metal rod. This must be inserted into the soil without damaging larger roots. The tree bag is very stable on its own and only requires a little support.
Connect bag - trunk circumference greater than 30 cm
Connect bag - trunk circumference greater than 30 cm
1) Connect two baumbad watering bags on one side with the zipper.
Trunk circumference greater than 60 cm means connecting 3 bags
Trunk circumference greater than 60 cm means connecting 3 bags
1) Connect three baumbad watering bags on one side with the zipper.
2) Place the connected bags around the tree and close the remaining zipper.
3) Fill the bags as described in the instructions.
Mature trees with a circumference of more than 90 cm
Mature trees with a circumference of more than 90 cm
Only with older trees that have a circumference of more than 90 cm will several irrigation bags be necessary. These can be connected to each other using the clever zipper solution. Branches and branches that are located where the irrigation bag is normally placed around the tree have a similar problem. In such a case, the bags can also be placed next to the tree to be watered. The best way to do this is with a wooden pole, bamboo pole or a metal rod. This must be inserted into the soil without damaging larger roots. The tree bag is very stable on its own and only requires a little support.

Application Notes:
Do not attach or hang on the black loops!
The loops are only intended for shaking the bag. When shaking, the bag may only be lifted slightly. Pulling up while leaving the bag from the floor is prohibited!
Use only clean water.
Dirt particles can clog the irrigation openings of the tree bath. If clean water is not available, it must be filtered through a cloth at the end of the hose! Each bag also has a dirt collection basin installed. To empty this, regularly empty the remaining water in the bag through the filling opening. To do this, hold the bag upside down.
The filled bag should neither be opened by the zipper nor transported.
A filled bag weighs between 75 kg and 100 kg. Such a weight cannot be supported by the PVC and PE material. The material would tear and the bag would be defective.
Do not tear or enlarge the filler opening!
If you plan to use your tree watering bags for many years, you should never do the following things:
• Clean the bags with sharp objects
• Do not remove the bags from the tree for a short moment for several months
• Never pour out the remaining water in the bag
• Use stale water with algae from ponds
• Crimp the bags at high temperature and pressure
• Leave the bags on the tree even during storms, hail, frost and snow
• Drill/prick additional holes in the bags independently
• Place bag on sharp objects
When using liquid fertilizers, mix them with the water before filling.
Depending on which fertilizer is used, it can attack the material. In addition to diluting with water, we also recommend using organic liquid fertilizer. This works well with a watering can. The mixed fertilizer can then be added to the water in the bag using the watering can via the filling opening.
Check the tree trunk regularly and let the tree breathe
Remove the bag from time to time in persistent humidity and tropical weather conditions to avoid the formation of mold or ant nests. The tree should be ventilated occasionally at the location of the bag.
Store when not in use.
To do this, remove the bag from the trunk, clean, dry and store in a dry place.
