OCR DocumentHYDROSYPH Watering System b>TheProductHydrosyph isalow cost watering system for plants. It is used to establish the rootsystem of trees, shrubs and other plants during the vital first 6 to 8 weeksfollowing planting and then to provide water to the plant while it is becomingestablished. Hydrosyph works by creating anunderground micro-environment allowing the root system to develop and allowingthe plants to mature - even during drought conditions. Using Hydrosyph allowsyou to plant at any time of the year - not just during the season when there israinfall. This is not just another wateringsystem. Hydrosyph will deliver the right amount of water or water/fertilizersolution to each plant's root system. There is no water sitting on the surfaceto evaporate. Water is delivered directly to the root system. An added bonus -it is very low cost and maintenance free. The life span of Hydrosyph is 2 to 3years more than enough time to allow the plant to become established and self-sufficient. Because Hydrosyph only delivers therequired amount of water to the plant, it will continue to provide an ongoingsupply for periods of up to 8 weeks. The product is simple to installaround the plant and easy to fill with water.TypicalApplications for the ProductParksGardensRoad-side plantingsRestoration of Mine and Earth Moving sites ReforestationprojectsWater catchment areasCommercial building gardensResidential gardensOrchardsFood crops Potential Users ofthe ProductThe product lends itself to corporate sponsorship by a MultiNational Oil Company/Automobile Company as an environmentally friendly promotional"Give Away" Mining CompaniesLocal GovernmentLand Care GroupsFarmersRoad Construction Contractors OrchardistsTree Plantation OrganisationsLandscape Gardeners Residential Gardeners TECHNICAL The key to Hydrosyph is that it isvery low cost, very effective and very simple to use. Every unit hasinstructions on how to set it up. Hydrosyph takes its name from theword "hyrro" - the study of water, and "syph" from the wordsyphon. The Hydrosyph is a self-contained watering system for small trees,shrubs and plants. The Hydrosyph unit is placed on top of the soil at the baseof the plant and folds around the plant to form a reservoir containing tenlitres of water. The water is regulated to the base of the plant via a rootextension osmosis tube. The plastic materials used tomanufacture the Hydrosyph are tough and resilient. They are the best choice andmost suitable for use in horticulture. The materials contain a high percentageof "carbon black" and "UV stabilizers". This combination ofprotection will give the Hydrosyph unit many years of service even in harshweather conditions. The Hydrosyph plant watering system is quick and easy toassemble. Simply follow the directions to fold around the plant. Water is addedthrough a filling spout and the root extension osmosis tube is installed byplacing one end into the filling spout, the other into a prepared hole 50mm deep at the base of the plant. Hydrosyph will regulate the tenlitres of stored water to the base of the plant over a period of six weeks innormal conditions. Field tests and reports back from customers show that in hotconditions and/or in sandy soils the Hydrosyph will deliver water at a fasterrate to keep the soil moist. Hydrosyph has been proven to act as a deterrent tovermin such as rabbits. It reduces the growth of weeds/grass growing around thebase of new plantings and keeps water loss through evaporation to a minimumpromoting a favourable "Eco System" around the base of the plant. Hydrosyph can also be used as adispenser for liquid fertilizers. Water-soluble fertilizers can be added to thestored water in Hydrosyph, this will give the plant the nutrients it requiresin poor soil conditions. The slow and controlled release of the fertilizerdirectly to the root ball suggests the Hydrosyph is a very economical nutrientdispenser. It is important to note that theHydrosyph system will not block up and require maintenance once installed.Other systems on the market do have these problems coupled with the fact thatthey suffer from high evaporation rates and need to be refilled very often,adding addition labour costs to their already inflated price. Hydrosyph is available as singleunits, packs of 5 or 50, or as is most commonly sold, rolls of 300 - this makes it more efficient to transport and store. http://www.trees4wa.net/
