ENVELOPE FOR FLUID DELIVERY TO PLANTS

摘要

An apparatus (10) for facilitating growth of a plant has a porous sheet (20) made of polypropylene netting that defines a plurality of pores (28) passing therethrough and has a first peripheral edge (22). A substantially non-porous polyethylene sheet (24) has a second peripheral edge (26). The first peripheral edge (22) and the second peripheral edge (26) are affixed to each other so that the porous sheet (20) and the non-porous sheet (24) define a cavity (30) therebetween. A plurality of granules (32) of a potassium acrylate polymer are disposed within the cavity (30). The granules (32) are capable of absorbing water and delivering water to the plant (12) when roots (14) of the plant are adjacent the apparatus (10).
