Description

1 Description The Root ball Moisture Sleeve The root ball moisture sleeve is a highly water absorbent sleeve fitted to the root ball of a plant prior to planting. Once the root ball moisture sleeve is fitted to the plant root ball , the plant root ball with the fitted moisture sleeve is immersed in water then planted. The innovation is particularly applicable to arid region re vegetation projects where rainfall is low and unpredictable, especially with changing climate patterns. One of the major difficulties in establishing plants in re vegetation projects is simply the lack of moisture available to the plant as typically there is no provision for any type of irrigation. The losses of seedlings planted therefor can be very significant. Therefor, the water retained in the moisture sleeve will give the plant an extra reserve of much needed moisture - possibly 2-6 times that which would be held in the root ball under normal conditions. The rootball moisture sleeve will also be designed to shield the developing roots from potentially hot dry soil they would normally be planted into, and be designed so the roots would be able to slowly grow through the root ball moisture sleeve. The root ball moisture sleeve will also be biodegradable after a period providing nutrient to the plant as it breaks down. The root ball moisture sleeve will also have the capacity within the design to be impregnated with such materials as water crystals, organic plant products such as worm castings, seaweed extract or any other material beneficial to the growing plant. The root ball moisture sleeve will also benefit the plant as it will trap and retain further moisture in the event of further rainfall after the plant is planted. The root ball moisture sleeve could also be applied to any plant in any situation if needed, ie horticulture and domestic garden situations in any size or shape that is beneficial.

Claims (8)

1. The Root ball moisture sleeve claims to be a unique innovation that increases the water holding capacity of the overall root system and therefor plants - especially useful in arid region re vegetation.
2. The Root Ball Moisture sleeve will aid the survival rates of all plants planted as the moisture sleeve is a reserve of water for any plant.
3. Root Ball moisture sleeve will shield the delicate roots of young seedlings from potentially hot dry soil on planting.
4. The Root Ball Moisture Sleeve will be designed so the roots will be able to grow through the sleeve.
5. The Root Ball Moisture Sleeve will also be biodegradable after a period providing nutrient to the plant as it breaks down.
6. The root Ball moisture sleeve will have the capacity to be impregnated with such materials as water crystals, organic plant products such as worm castings, seaweed extract or any other material beneficial to a growing plant.
7. The Root Ball Moisture Sleeve will be able to trap and retain moisture from rainfall after the plant is planted.
8. The root ball moisture sleeve could also be applied to any plant in any situation if required - i e horticulture or domestic gardening.
