A method and system is disclosed for water-efficient water management for plants grown in at least one container. At least one water inlet and at least one drainage opening is provided for each of the containers, such that a drainage opening divides particulate material contained within a container into a lower saturated layer and an upper, relatively dry layer. A water level gauging means is provided in each container, to gauge the depth of the layer of water existing at the bottom, as well as a water control means to add water to each container as a result of the reading of the water level gauging means, so as to maintain a desired level of water at the bottom of the gauged container, without resulting in a deleterious rise in chloride level. Plagiotropically growing root hairs extend into, and are entwined with the saturated layer of particulate material to form a biomass.
