ABSTRACT:
An underground irrigation device comprises a chamber dimensioned to accept a quantity of pesticide, insecticide or fertilizer, a cap secured to the chamber and having a fitting for receiving a garden hose, and a removable accelerator conduit depending from the cap and positioned within the interior of the chamber. The accelerator conduit has at least one hole in fluid communication with the interior of the chamber, which causes the acceleration of water into the chamber interior. A portion of the chamber's perimeter is fitted with a plurality of throughholes, while the chamber's interior is lined with a filter material to prevent the ingrowth of grass and roots and the intrusion of dirt as well as allowing for diffusion of pesticides and fertilizers and pressure nitigated effluent. Water from the hose enters the accelerator conduit and is accelerated turbulently through its throughhole to agitate and dissolve the pesticide, insecticide or fertilizer before being passed from the chamber in the direction dictated by the chamber's thoughholes.
