watering tomatoes with plastic bottles

I tried them. They are a plastic spike you push into the ground. You can punch
out holes at the depth you wish to water, and put an inverted two liter pop
bottle filled with water into them. It can take from a couple minutes to a
couple hours for the bottle to empty.
I bought them dirt cheap (pun intendend) from Harbor Freight Tools.
I plan to try them, but I might have to "assist" them a bit, since there's no
way I'll be able to shove anything plastic into the ground except where I've
cleared out the rocks(the beds I've worked). This Ozark soil is VERY rocky, and
the rocks are tough.
