A simple, low-pressure watering system utilizes a container to deliver water directly to plant roots. This method typically involves a reservoir elevated slightly above the ground, with tubes extending from the container to individual plants or rows. The slow, controlled release minimizes water waste and maximizes absorption by the root zone.
Such systems offer numerous advantages, particularly in water-scarce regions or for gardeners seeking efficient irrigation. Reduced water consumption, minimized weed growth due to targeted watering, and decreased risk of fungal diseases on foliage are significant benefits. Historically, these types of setups have provided a practical and affordable means for small-scale farmers and home gardeners to improve crop yields and conserve resources.
