Sub-Irrigated Planter

摘要

The sub-irrigated planter includes a basin; a removable basin lid, a removable wick and a fabric potting bag. The basin and basin lid provide an enclosed water storage vessel for the planter. The wick provides the structural platform for supporting the soil and plants grown in the potting bag and acts as an irrigation conduit for the soil in the potting bag. The potting bag is constructed of a non-wicking but air permeable fabric, which prevents water from wicking up the sidewall of the bag, but still allows air to pass through the sidewall into the soil.
