ABSTRACT:
A root feeding device for dispersing plant food or other substances into the soil. The root feeding device (10) includes a reservoir (12) for being implanted in soil and for receiving the plant food or other substances to be dispersed into the soil. The reservoir (12) defines a plurality of perforations (22) through which the plant food or other substance is dispersed. The device (10) also includes a water dispensing wand (26) for dispensing water under pressure which, in accordance with the method of the present invention, is used to bore a hole in the soil to facilitate the implantation of the reservoir (12) in the soil. A conduit (38) of the water dispensing wand (26) is received through the reservoir (12) and water dispensed from the conduit (38) erodes the soil, thereby producing a hole in the soil into which the reservoir (12) is carried. In accordance with the method of the present invention the water dispensing wand (26) is then removed from the reservoir (12) and the reservoir is filled with plant food or fertilizer.
