Abstract:
1. A plant watering and feeding device comprising: an elongate tubular body having an upper portion and a lower portion, said elongate tubular body defining a hollow cavity for receiving water and feed therein, said upper portion having an enlarged end and an opening in fluid communication with said hollow cavity for supplying the water and feed into said device, said lower portion having a tapered end defining a plurality of through-extending apertures in fluid communication with said hollow cavity; a plurality of fluid level rings arranged at spaced intervals on the outer surface of said tubular body, said fluid level rings protrude outwards from said outer surface of said tubular body, wherein said plurality of fluid level rings indicate the level of fluid in said tubular body; at least one extension section having an elongated hollow tubular body including an enlarge upper portion and a lower portion adapted to be inserted into said enlarged end of said upper portion of said tubular body; and a plurality of fluid level rings arranged at spaced intervals on the outer surface of said tubular body of said extension section, said fluid level rings protrude outwards from said outer surface of said extension section wherein said plurality of fluid level rings indicate the level of fluid in said tubular body of said extension section; wherein said device is positionable relative to a plant such that said lower portion of said device is surrounded by soil proximate the roots of the plant, and wherein the water and feed may be introduced into said device through said opening in said enlarged end and subsequently slowly released into said soil proximate the roots of the plant via said apertures in said lower portion; wherein said tubular body and said extension section are cylindrical and are constructed out of a transparent plastics material to permit a visual inspection of the level of the water and feed within said hollow cavity of said device; at least one tie string adapted rest on any one of said fluid level rings.
