PE Repair Kit – Sustainable Patches incl. Adhesive & Instructions

Yes, a Baumbad tree watering bag can often be repaired. According to the article, repairs are expressly encouraged so that damaged bags don't have to be disposed of. Additionally, there is a recycling program where damaged bags are repaired, donated, or processed into repair patches.

Recycled patches made from the same material as the baumbad tree watering bag (PVC or PE) are best. These proved to be the most reliable and watertight in testing. The identical material ensures a significantly better bond than unrelated repair materials.

Liquid adhesives that can bond plastic or PVC are particularly suitable, for example, superglue, PVC glue, two-component adhesives, or vulcanizing adhesives. Superglue and two-component adhesives are especially practical because they are readily available in everyday life.

PVC tapes, duct tape, fabric tape, and repair kits for inflatable boats or toys are not recommended. These materials are not compatible with the fiber-reinforced PVC of the bags and usually do not provide a lasting seal.

First, clean the damaged area, then roughen it slightly. Next, cut a suitable patch to size, apply adhesive, press the patch firmly into place, and allow it to dry completely. It is important that the surface is clean and free of grease, and that the patch overlaps the damaged area.

You can order suitable patches directly from baumbad. The shop offers a repair kit with patches made from original material, allowing you to sustainably repair your tree watering bag yourself.
