ABSTRACT:
A planter formed of an open top box having a platform supported within and above the bottom of the box. A generally flat, horizontally arranged bag, containing a plant growing filler material rests upon the platform and substantially covers the open top of the box so that the box provides a liquid reservoir beneath the platform. A capillary type wick sheet arranged upon the platform and having a portion extending downwardly into the reservoir flows water, through capillary action, to the filler which may be exposed to the sheets through openings formed in the bag. A frame extends around the bag and is supported upon the box to extend the height of the box for appearance purposes, as well as to protect and contain the edges of the bag. Plants may be grown in the filler material through appropriate openings formed in the upper surface of the bag.
