Title: Sturdy, but needs holes in the sides
Review: More than three decades ago, I remember our family having a root waterer similar to this, but with several holes at the bottom. Good luck finding one like that - this was the closest I could find. So, I modified this one by drilling all the way through about 2" and 4" from the tip and then at a 90 degree angle from that two more holes all the way through at about 3" and 5" from the tip (so, I added 8 holes). I wanted to use this primarily as a yard aerator and secondarily as a tree root waterer for dry years. It is simple and sturdy, and with my additional holes has worked well for my purposes.
