There are a few funky things going on in this picture, and your first instinct might be to point out the weird-looking bag zipped around this tree’s trunk.   You may have even seen these around town.  What exactly is that thing?

Well let us tell you.  It is a time-saving, water-saving, money-saving bag called a Treegator!

Say you have a newly-planted tree in your yard.  Zip this bag around the tree trunk, and through a hole at the top, fill up the bag with your garden hose.  The Treegator takes it from there, slowly dripping the water out over the course of approximately 6-8 hours.  Fill it up twice a week and watering chores for the new tree are complete!  How cool is that?  Pretty darn cool.

But not as cool as the lobster on the side of the house. (We’re just jealous.)
