发明名称 Plant containerizing and watering device
摘要 A plant containerizing and watering device for containing a plant growing medium and facilitating irrigation of the growing medium by a liquid. The device includes a first container and a second container. The second has at least one venting aperture extending through its base wall. The second container is configured and sized so as to be at least partially insertable within the first container with their respective base maintained in a predetermined spaced relationship relative to each other. A trough extends outwardly from the second container. The trough has at least one trough aperture positioned between the first and second container base walls. A removable reservoir is inserted within the second container. The device also includes a valve mechanism, in fluid communication with the removable reservoir for selectively and automatically transferring a transfer volume of liquid from the removable reservoir to a relatively constant volume of liquid contained between the base walls of the first and second containers so that the surface of the relatively constant volume of liquid is maintained at a relatively constant base level allowing fluid communication with the trough aperture. When a fraction of the relatively constant volume of liquid is soaked up through the trough aperture by a capillary action of the growing medium contained in the second container the valve mechanism transfers a corresponding volume of the liquid from the removable reservoir to the volume between the base walls.
