ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a subterranean water and air collection and delivery device for facilitating the collection and delivery of air, natural ground water, manually supplied water, and/or pressurized water from an irrigation system to the roots of plants is provided. The device includes a plastic enclosure member including a plurality of apertures and having an interior volume within which water and air is collected and redirected. A porous insert member is located within the interior volume of the plastic enclosure member and substantially occupies the entire volume for facilitating collection and delivery of water and air while substantially preventing surrounding ground material from entering the interior volume of the enclosure member. The enclosure member is buried at a predetermined depth near the roots of the at least one plant such that the apertures throughout the device provide ingress and egress for water and air to and from within the interior volume at various depths for the efficient delivery of the water and air to the roots of the at least one plant and for reducing the potential for non-point source pollution.
