| Abstract: |
A method and apparatus for irrigation comprising a liquid-filled wall of flexible elongated tubing forming the boundaries and sealed containment of a defined and desired area which is then filled with an indicated or desired amount of water for irrigation and, additionally, with materials whose use includes but is not limited to fertilization, disease treatment, or experimentation. The tubing can be used alone as the sealed containment or to provide the transportation means for the irrigation water in addition to the sealed containment. Upon completion of percolation, the tubing is emptied, rolled up, and taken to the next use and location.
