ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for irrigating plants such as shrubs, flowers, and trees is disclosed. Water can be provided to the apparatus through an externally connected hose. The apparatus may be employed as part of an overall landscape irrigation system. The apparatus prevents leaves, bugs, and debris from entering an interior chamber of the apparatus, while allowing air into the interior chamber. Apertures are provided along the length of a downward projecting cylindrical stem. Water flows from within the stem, through the apertures, and into soil surrounding the stem. Soil and stones are prevented from entering the stem interior. Further, a food basket or an in-line metering system may be integrated into the apparatus to provide for the controlled feeding of plants.
