Has anyone tried them? http://www.buyaquaglobes.com/ I am thinking they would be good for me as I am terrible at watering my containers in the summer. And they are pretty to boot! |

They're pretty but they don't look like they'd hold enough water to water a good-sized plant. It doesn't say what pot size one globe can water. |

They are very pretty but I'm like Sweetle, they don't look like the hold very much. I have done the same thing in the past with 2 liter pop bottles. They don't look as pretty but provide more water. For in-ground plants I have also used a 5 gallon bucket and drilled a small hole in the bottom of it (I am thinking it was 1/4 inch drill bit I used) and sit it next to your plant and fill with water and it waters the plant as the water slowly drains out of the hole. |

If you like pretty, use several in a container~just a thought! I use a lot of blown glass throughout my garden, love it~Andrea |

I bought some years ago from LTD. What a waist of money. They were pretty but hard to fill and broke at the least bump. Save your money!! |

I, too, have seen them in catalogues. That was my first thought. They look too fragile to me. |
