Watering your Crop

With it being buried the water goes straight to the plants roots, without wasting. A guy who grows great Toms taught me this, and you need a lot less water.

The council do something similar with trees, they bury a length of plastic pipe from 6" above ground level to the bottom of the planting hole. I can't see any reason that won't work with fruit and veg.
