Installation Guide

1. After installing your stake, remove the stake’s cap
2. Pour liquid, powder, water-soluble, or granulated fertilizer/nutrients
directly into the open shaft of your installed stake. (fig.1)
3. Evenly disperse your chosen fertilizer among all of the plant’s
installed stakes, following the recommended amount of fertilizer per
package instructions (fig.2)
4. Water will pass through the stake and soil, slowly dissolving nutrients
and feeding your plants at the root
5. Ask your local nursery professional for specific recommendations on
the best fertilizer for your plant’s needs.

1. If you have dense, tough, hard, or
compacted soil; pre-soak the planting area
and/or use a soil softener to soften the
ground before installation. (fig.1)
2. Once the area is well-saturated, hammer
your DEEP DRIP® Stake into the ground as
far as it will go.
3. Take the cap off and run water directly into
the stake to start softening the soil from
below. (fig.2)
4. Repeat the process until you have driven
the stake all the way into the ground,
leaving the stake’s top hole exposed

TOUGH GROUND
You can also use a
1.25-inch auger bit to
pre-drill a hole where
you wish to place the
stake for even easier
installation. (fig.1)

REMOVE
1. Removing Stakes: Insert a screwdriver or
rod through the stake’s exposed top hole,
just below the cap of your stake. Slide the
rod through the shaft, twist and pull up to
remove the stake. (fig.1)
2. To Re-position: Your DEEP DRIP® stakes
are easily repositionable as your tree
grows! Simply remove stakes (described
above) and reposition them so that they
sit just inside your tree’s canopy. At this
time, you may choose to add additional
stakes or switch stakes out for a larger
size, if needed. Large trees will require
additional stakes as they grow.

Prevent Root Intrusion: Twist your stakes
once every six months to help guard
against roots entering and damaging your
stakes. Do so by sliding a screwdriver or
rod into the stake’s exposed top hole and
twisting. (fig.1)
