Patent ID: 8132362

Claim:
A plant watering system, relating to dispersing at least one aqueous liquid, from at least one aqueous liquid source, into soil comprising a root zone of a plant situate beneath a surface of such soil, said plant watering system comprising: a) at least one cylindrical tube structured and arranged to permit the flow of the at least one aqueous liquid from the at least one aqueous liquid source to the root zone of the plant comprising i) at least one top end portion, ii) at least one bottom end portion, and iii) at least one sidewall extending therebetween; b) located within said at least one sidewall i) a plurality of passages, each one structured and arranged to pass the at least one aqueous liquid from within said at least one cylindrical tube through said at least one sidewall, and ii) at least one material excluder structured and arranged to exclude non-liquid material from passing through said plurality of passages; and c) at least one cap structured and arranged to cap said at least one top end portion of said at least one cylindrical tube; d) wherein said at least one cap comprises at least one first structural reinforcer structured and arranged to reinforce said at least one cap, against structural failure of said at least one cap, during impact by a hammer used to effect such penetration of said at least one cylindrical tube through the soil; e) wherein said at least one top end portion is structured and arranged to receive the at least one aqueous liquid from the at least one aqueous liquid source into said at least one cylindrical tube; f) wherein said at least one bottom end portion comprises at least one soil-penetration assister structured and arranged to assist penetration of said at least one cylindrical tube through the soil; g) wherein said plurality of passages are structured and arranged to disperse the at least one aqueous liquid along substantially a full length of said at least one cylindrical tube extending between said at least one top end portion and said at least one bottom end portion; and h) wherein at least one soil-penetration assister comprises a spike tapering from said at least one bottom end portion; i) wherein said at least one cylindrical tube further comprises: i) at least one first tube segment comprising at least one first tube-segment length; ii) at least one second tube segment comprising at least one second tube-segment length; and iii) at least one coupler structured and arranged to couple said at least one first tube segment with said at least one second tube segment; iv) wherein said at least one first tube segment comprises said at least one bottom end portion; and v) wherein said at least one second tube segment comprises said at least one top end portion.
