A capillary carpet irrigation system comprises a capillary carpet ( 10 ) having a series of individual capillary mat sections ( 9 a, 9 b, 9 c . . . ) hydraulically isolated from one another by a water impermeable base membrane ( 18 ), thereby preventing water migration from one section to the next. This discontinuity advantageously allows the capillary carpet ( 10 ) to operate on sloppy surfaces and promotes effective capillary connection between coarse growing media and the mat. A protective water permeable membrane ( 15 ) is provided on top of the series of individual capillary mat sections ( 9 a, 9 b, 9 c . . . ).
