Review of Wine Bottle Plant Nanny Watering Stakes, Three 4-packs

This is my first review after years of amazon purchases, so you know I must like it ;-)I tested one on its own filled with water in a glass in the sink, and they slowly release water.Then I tested it in a large pot with a big wine bottle--worked great-- 1/3 of the bottle went into the soil within 2 days, 1/2 within 4.I added a 2nd nanny & bottle to the same plant, and it slowed the flow.These also work well with soda/beer bottles that fit for smaller plants.I've started to leave them in the plants with water all of the time so they can get proper hydration in case I miss watering a day--seems to be working out well!

When I received them, 2 of the 12 were broken--rather than go through Amazon who would have to send out a full set of 12 again and could take some time, I called the manufacturer to see if they could help.They were very friendly & sent me 2 new ones with extra foam to keep them safe from shipping issues.They told me (7/14/2008) that the new shipment going to amazon will have better packing so this will not happen in the future.I got the new set of two within 2 days (east coast)--very good service!

Great concept--recycling wine bottles, watering plants over time works well!

Product Description:
The Plant Nanny is a specially-engineered ceramic stake that waters your plant easily and beneficially. Inserted into moist soil near the root base, the Nanny will release water as the soil begins to dry, so it won't under-water or over-water your plants. A recycled wine bottle serves as the water reservoir and adds a decorative flair to the plant. The water level can be seen through the glass so that you know when it is time to refill the bottle. Each set of four is attractively label-wrapped for gift-giving.
