ABSTRACT:
A self-draining planter includes a container body with a container body sidewall having an opening. The sidewalls partially enclose an upwardly-open container body interior. A filter assembly includes inner and outer ends, a tubular member with inner and outer ends, a coupling mounted on the tubular member outer end and a screen wrapped around the tubular member with fluid passages therethrough. The tubular member inner end is closed and the tubular member includes a bore and a tube wall with tubular member openings communicating with its bore. The coupling extends through the container sidewall opening and is adjustably mounted on the container sidewall in disposition such that water is drained to a preselected level within the receptacle. The coupling includes a coupling bore communicating with the tubular member bore and open at the filter assembly outer end.
