ABSTRACT:
An ebb and flow irrigation system wherein a plurality of plant growing receptacles are placed in a plurality of large protective containers positioned in the ground. The containers are connected to a pipe system including inlet and outlet valves communicating with a holding pond. By this construction and arrangement, irrigating water is supplied to the containers to irrigate the plant growing receptacles placed therein, and after a period of time, the water is drained from the containers and directed to the holding pond. The containers thus function as ebb and flood containers, whereby plants and trees can be commercially grown without wasting water and polluting streams, rivers and adjoining soils by run-off leach.
