The present invention provides a liquid application system for plants and the like, the system including a power supply, controller, supply system and a tube member. The tube member is placeable into or connectable to a liquid reservoir to allow liquid from the reservoir to be supplied therefrom to plants and the like. Additionally, a liquid application system is provided having a reservoir in which liquid can be collected, a body of matter in which at least one plant can be planted to grow and a supply system to allow liquid to be selectively removed from the reservoir to be applied to the body of matter, the application of liquid occurring with respect to the condition of a power supply connected to at least the supply system. The system further includes flow rate limiter, for restricting the flow of liquid through the system and into the body of matter.
