Upgrade Your System
See how easy it is to upgrade your setup by adding a Root Quencher®
Option 1: Add a Root Quencher
We added a Root Quencher to an Avocado tree by placing it about 24 inches deep into the root zone.
After digging a hole with a hand trowel, we set the Root Quencher in place and connected it to the drip line. It’s a quick and efficient way to enhance your watering setup.

Option 2: Tap Into an Existing Sprinkler Line
We removed a bubbler from the garden bed, adde a fitting, and connected drip lines. This setup ties into the main sprinkler system, so there’s no need for a separate timer. Just like that, the upgrade is complete and ready to go.
