A nutrient-holding and flow control system (20) for connection in-line with the flow of water to a plant includes a receptacle (50) having an interior (101) into which nutrients (103) can be positioned and a dispensing head (60) including a substantially circular conduit ring (74) having at least one hose section (82 or 84) having perforated sidewalls (86) through which water and dissolved nutrients are permitted to seep. An intermediate conduit arrangement (80) is joined intermediate the receptacle and the conduit ring for conducting water and dissolved nutrients from the receptacle into the conduit ring at multiple locations thereabout which are disposed at regular spaced intervals around the conduit ring. In addition, a flow controller (52) is associated with the receptacle for permitting a user to shut off or adjust the flow rate of water through the receptacle.
