The Tomato Crater is a patented root zone watering system that directs water directly to where plants need it most deep at the roots.

Most watering methods work against your plants. Tomato Crater® works with them.

The Tomato Crater® is a patented root-zone watering system that directs water directly to where plants need it most — deep at the roots. By keeping water off the soil surface and away from stems and leaves, it helps reduce the conditions that contribute to blossom end rot, fungal blight, and soil-borne pests like cutworms — problems that overhead and surface watering make worse.

Unlike lightweight watering rings that blow away or must be installed before planting, Tomato Crater's weighted, two-piece snap-together design installs around mature plants in seconds and stays put all season — even with a tomato cage in place.

What It Does

• Directs water to the root zone — less evaporation, less guesswork, deeper hydration
• Warms soil naturally — the crater design absorbs heat and transfers it to roots
• Suppresses weeds — covers soil surface around the plant base
• Helps reduce blight conditions — less soil splash onto leaves and stems
• Discourages cutworms & soil-borne pests — drier surface soil = fewer pest conditions
• Works with tomato cages — built-in cage slots; fits wire cages and Glamos cages
• Installs around mature plants — no need to set up before planting
• Stable in wind — weighted design won't blow away like thin plastic rings
