Abstract
The disclosure includes various embodiments of an irrigation mat. In some embodiments, the mat is generally installed so that plants meet the layer of moisture formed by a nonwoven textile web in a relatively short time due to growth of roots. Some embodiments include a web where the roots of plants can grow into the web and thus those plants can be supplied with moisture.

An irrigation tube comprising:
- a tight casing;
