The circular ribs are provided with openings which also allow drainage having connection with an exposed portion of the base to provide for evaporation. There is also provided a method in accordance with which the initial growth of a plant is accommodated within the smaller cylinder whereafter the smaller cylinder is encircled by the larger cylinder whereafter the smaller cylinder is detached and the annular space between the original soil and the second cylinder is filled in with additional soil to accommodate additional growth of the plants.
