Abstract:
1. A method of irrigating products located on adjacent cultivating tables, comprising: supplying a coupling system to each table, the coupling system including at least an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet each having a coupling member and at least one of the coupling members having an extendable and retractable member; detachably connecting a first table to a source of pressurized fluid from an adjacent table and to a second adjacent table for disposal of the fluid through the coupling systems of the tables, the connection accomplished by extending the extendable and retractable member of the at least one coupling member past a side wall of one of the tables to mate with the coupling system of another of the tables; and thereafter disconnecting the tables from each other for independent movement to another location, while ensuring that no portion of the coupling system for each table extends past a spatial envelope of that table, wherein the spatial envelope is a perimeter defined by sidewalls of each table.
