ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically watering plants. The system is connected directly to a city or municipal water supply. Water is fed from the supply source through small diameter polyethylene tubing to a control valve or multiple valves which regulate the amount of water supplied to each plant. What is new in this invention is that the apparatus is simple in its operation, and is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. This invention should have a very long life with little or no maintenance. The control valve is self cleaning and non-clogging.
