That’s a needle, not a syringe
I think there will be a balance point in where the partial vacuum in the bottle will stop the further flow of water.
Watering at the trunk isn’t as effective as over the roots.
He very likely used that needle to make a tiny hole in the bottle top.Quote:

Water is a very precious commodity in many/MOST areas in the world. They do not waste it like we do here in the US. WE can learn A LOT from the way people live in areas like that!!!
Huh, junkie farmers?
