Deep Root Watering System For New Trees CROPS Miscellaneous “Our new underground reservoir system for trees provides direct deep root watering on demand with almost no evaporation It provides long term protection especially in times of drought ” says Randall Paige Sr in describing his new underground plant root basket and reservoir     The Plant It Right system is available in 24 30 or 36-in dia 18-in deep models which have 4 6 and 8 towers respectively It comes with a circular pvc reservoir that holds up to 6 gal of water and has multiple emission points surrounding the root ball     The towers are made from 4-in dia pvc pipe Two of the towers run up through the circular reservoir and have fill ports on top that extend 2 to 3 in above ground Water fills the reservoir and flows down the towers into soaker hoses that form a criss-cross pattern at the bottom of the basket     An optional plastic mesh enclosure can be attached to the sides of the towers and under the bottom of the basket in order to surround the root ball and prevent entry by burrowing animals     The operator digs the hole out and places the basket into the hole The hole is then partially back-filled and the root ball is inserted on top of the back fill The entire hole is then filled with soil     “By planting a tree or shrub within a subterranean plant root basket and reservoir you’re providing the plant with needed water nutrients and minerals The water is immediately directed toward the roots ” says Paige “The inner walls of the soaker hoses are armored with pex pipe to keep the hose from collapsing ”     According to Paige the Plant It Right system nourishes the root system with no loss of water or nutrients due to evaporation “With our plant root basket the water goes directly to the plant roots with no loss of moisture It requires roots to go down instead of upward for the water they need which results in a better root system ”     The 24-in model sells for $90 plus S&H; the 30-in model for $100 plus S&H; and the 36-in model for $110 plus S&H     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Plant It Right P O Box 32 Bennett Colo 80102 ph 720 990-3705; www plantitright com
