ABSTRACT:
A plant watering system for feeding the root systems of plants in soil in a timed-release manner for a period of time wherein a tapered, conical watering spike is utilized having radially extending blades for stabilizing the spike in the soil. The watering spike includes a flow reduction reservoir having a metering orifice at an inlet end and a liquid dispensing orifice at an outlet end. Fluid transfer media in the form of compressed cotton is pressed into the flow reduction reservoir to create a reduction in the flow of liquid from the metering orifice to the liquid outlet. At least one blade notch is formed in the spike blades to create an open soil pocket leading from the liquid outlet to the soil for reliable dispensing of liquid in a timed-release manner without clogging of the liquid outlet.
