Aeration and drying of subsurface soils with a subsurface irrigation system. An air inlet and bypass pressure regulator allow pressurized gas to be introduced into a zone of the system to aerate and dry a field. Pressurized gas or aerosolized agrochemicals are delivered through emitters integrated into the driplines within the system. Emitters integrated into the driplines allow aeration and drying of subsurface soils during times of season when high amounts of precipitation or localized flooding interfere with the systems use for irrigation.

Disclosed is an apparatus for injecting a plurality of constituents by confining the constituents in one or more tubes. The apparatus includes an outer tube (1015D); a global positioning satellite (GPS) (1113C); a programmable logic controller (PLC) (1105C); an Artificial intelligence (AI) robot (1107C, and 1205); a computer (1111C); an encoder (1305B); a plurality of limit switches (1405, 1407, and 1409), and a spacer tube (1015D). The outer tube (1015D) includes a plurality of stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D). The stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D) are stackable either in cylinder segments or polygonal shapes. Constituents confined therein or the stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D) themselves may be ejected through apertures for injection purposes. Some constituent contents may be ejected vertically or laterally-through perforations in the tube wall sub-surface to enable constituent amendment or sequestration. The stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D) may have apertures that when closed protects the constituents from soil or water penetration. The stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D) may be ejected with Constituents partially sub-surface with the remaining length purposefully positioned above the surface. Living Organisms may be injected within specialty protective stackable tubes (1003D, 1005D, 1007D, 1009D, 1011D, and 1013D) that also provide habitat support after placement.

An in-situ remediation method for a lead-zinc slag dump is provided, belonging to the technical field of prevention and control of soil pollution, including: step 1, providing a curing agent layer, a clay barrier layer and a planting soil layer on a surface of the lead-zinc slag dump in sequence, and providing an interceptor ditch and a retaining wall at a highest position and a lowest position of the lead-zinc slag dump respectively; step 2, planting ground covers and/or shrubs in the planting soil layer; and step 3, providing baffle plates and a plurality of regulating assemblies in lead-zinc slag, wherein each of the regulating assemblies comprises a water tank, a blind ditch and a first isolation plate, and a water outlet end of the water tank and a water outlet end of the blind ditch are connected with a reservoir.

A weed barrier includes a rigid body defining a plurality of basins. The basins have bottoms with holes therethrough for planting garden plants. In a particular embodiment the bottom surface of the weed barrier includes a plurality of hose channels configured be positioned over a hose. Several example configurations of rigid weed barriers are disclosed.

A soil irrigation and restoration system comprises a water transmitting device having a water containing tank, a water pumping element, and a pipe. The water containing tank has a containing space formed therein. The water pumping element is disposed in the containing space and has at least one water inlet, a water outlet, and an overflow portion. The water outlet is spaced apart from the at least one water inlet. The overflow portion is disposed between the at least one water inlet and the water outlet, and is disposed at a position higher than that of the at least one water inlet and the water outlet. The pipe has a connecting end connected to the water outlet. A portion of the pipe away from the connecting end extends downwardly and is buried in the soil layer. A soil irrigation and restoration method executed with syphon effect is also provided.

An in-ground plant container with a watering-well that is open at both ends and is functional and decorative. The above-ground portion in this present embodiment has a round bowl-shaped water well and broadly rounded lip for ease of gripping and placing in an appropriately sized hole. The bowl of the watering-well keeps the plant container above ground. The bottom, below ground portion, has vertical fins for lateral stability in the soil. This embodiment also has external helical threads at its base for ease of placement in loosened soil. The above ground portion of the plant container watering-well can be wider than the base and replaces the organic soil watering-well. This in-ground plant container with watering-well is for conserving water, and the containment of localized water contaminated by pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
