1: A water-saving device, comprising:
a water resistant and hollow frusto-conical housing having a wide lower end adapted to overlie a ground surface and a narrow upper end; a flexible tarp in the shape of a hollow tube, wherein a lower end of the flexible tarp is integrally connected around the circumference of the narrow upper end of the housing, and the flexible tarp extends upwardly from the top of the upper end of housing; a first vertical cut perpendicular to the plane of the lower end of the frusto-conical housing that bisects and extends through the housing and through the attached flexible tarp, and a second vertical cut perpendicular to the plane of the lower end of the frusto-conical housing that bisects and extends through the housing and through the attached flexible tarp, wherein the second vertical cut is opposed to the first vertical cut and forms first and second housing halves and first and second flexible tarp halves connected to the housing halves; a first housing connector integral with the vertical cut edges of the first housing half and a second housing connector integral with the vertical cut edges of the second housing half, wherein the first and second housing connectors are releasably attached to one another to enclose a tree trunk in the hollow housing; a first tarp connector integral with the vertical cut edges of the first tarp half and a second tarp connector integral with the vertical cut edges of the second tarp half, wherein the first and second tarp connectors are releasably attached to one another to enclose a tree trunk in the hollow tarp; a draw string integrally attached around the circumference of a upper end of the flexible tarp, wherein the draw string reduces the circumference of the upper end of the flexible tarp and encloses the tarp around the tree trunk. |
