ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a device for long-term supply for earth and hydrocultures. Conventionally, an especially designed sub-atmospheric pressure tank is manufactured for each plant vessel--as small or large container--that has proven to be expensive. The main problem of these water supply tanks are either an unfavorable use and arrangement of space (revolving tank), or their refill possibilities conceal under some circumstances the danger of tank leakiness. And necessary water-level indicators are lacking entirely. The industry offers no optimal planting vessels for the long-term watering of earth culture flowers, including bonsais. The invented device solves these problems through a tank, functioning according to the principle of sub-atmospheric pressure, which consists of at least two dimensionally stable partial tanks or tank parts, that are relatively movable against each other connected to each other. The thus alterable tank can be adjusted to, respectively fitted--in a space-saving way--into various sizes and the most sundry plant vessels as well as in small and large vessels. Flexible, traverseable parts solve the problem of refilling reliably and uncomplicatedly. Staggered floats of the water-level indicator in the short, airtight, transparent pipe permit the water-level to be read easily. Highly capilated, double-shaft clay plant pots, glazed on the outside --that stand in separating vessels--settle the problems of root ventilation and earth culture watering. A supplement of calcium sulphate- activated carbon compound granules provide for water with an excellent nutriment content and oxygenated water for longer periods of time.
