Patent attributes
A micro-irrigation system includes at least one stake, tubing section, and micro-spray jet. The stake has a lower end configured for retention at a junction of four corners of adjacent planting pots and an upper end having a tubing retention prong and a micro-spray jet retention opening with an internal fluid passage extending therebetween. The tubing section is connected to the tubing retention prong and adapted for connection to a water supply. The micro-spray jet is connected to the retention opening, an internal fluid passage extends from the lower end to an orifice in an intermediate surface, and a splash plate is located above the jet orifice. The splash plate has a plurality of downwardly extending sides about its periphery with clearances therebetween defining a jet spray pattern. With water supplied through the tubing, at least one spray stream is directed into each of the four adjacent pots.
