ABSTRACT:
A plant feeder apparatus includes a rigid support assembly which includes a top end portion, a mid-portion, and a bottom end portion. The bottom end portion is adapted to penetrate soil to a sufficient depth such that the soil is capable of retaining the support assembly in an upstanding orientation, and the top end portion is adapted to support a chemical dispenser assembly. The chemical dispenser assembly includes a container for containing a quantity of a dissolved chemical. A conduit is connected to the container for conveying a portion of the dissolved chemical out of the container. A manually-operated valve assembly is supported by the container for controlling outflow of dissolved chemical from the container, and a flow conduit assembly is supported by the support assembly and is connected to the conduit for conveying dissolved chemical from the container to the soil. The flow conduit assembly includes a top end portion in fluid communication with the conduit. A mid-portion of the flow conduit assembly is in fluid communication with the top end portion, and a bottom end portion of the flow conduit assembly is in fluid communication with the mid-portion. The bottom end portion of the flow conduit assembly is adapted to be positioned in the soil and includes an outlet aperture from which dissolved chemical can exit into the soil. The support assembly and the flow conduit assembly are formed as a unified integrated rigid pipe assembly.
