HOW IT WORKS

Illustration of a deep pipe irrigation system distributing water and air underground, surrounded by plant roots.

The BOTANICAL WATER AIR VENT is designed to enhance soil hydration and aeration through a simple yet effective mechanism. Water and air are funneled through a hollow, tapered spike with strategically placed ribs and holes. These features guide water and air directly to the plant's roots, ensuring even distribution and reducing runoff and evaporation.

As water enters the vent from rain, irrigation, or dew, it is channeled downward by capillary action, while air is simultaneously drawn into the soil through the vent’s openings. Outer ribs create pathways in the surrounding soil, further improving water and air movement. Over time, the device supports healthier roots and plants, maximises water efficiency, and reduces the environmental impact of traditional irrigation methods.

FEATURES + BENEFITS

- Transfers water and air directly to the soil and plant roots, promoting healthier growth and higher yields.
- Utilises capillary action, allowing water and air molecules to attract and travel down the vents.
- Maximises water efficiency in irrigation.

- Enhance the capillary action process.
- Create air colloids to aid water and air transfer, even when foreign objects intrude.
- Provide additional structural strength.

Captures water droplets from rain, irrigation, or dew and disperses them to encourage continuous flow down the vent.

- Create external soil channels to enhance water and air movement.
- Add strength and provide directional assistance for easy soil insertion.

Allow water and air to leach in and out of the soil at multiple height levels, providing 360-degree ventilation around the hollow vent.

- Made from recycled, biodegradable materials that are reusable, relocatable, and designed to decompose naturally if left in the soil.
- Future models can be crafted from organic matter, decomposing faster while adding nutrients to the soil and plants.
