ABSTRACT:
A container (1) made for instance of ceramic, terracotta, or plastic material, is capable of supporting conventional vessels (4) by means of a plate (3) which is provided with openings. The vessels have a top peripheral border (5) which protrudes with respect to the peripheral border of the container so that the vessels are raised from the bottom of the container. Water is placed at the bottom of the container, some strips of felt (9) or similar absorbing material is inserted into the vessel and reaches the bottom of the container so that water is transferred to the soil by capillary action and also by evaporation. The containers consist of three compartments; the upper compartment corresponding to the vessel which contains the soil (7), the lower compartment (6) containing the water, and an intermediate compartment (24) forming an air chamber. The walls (the container (1), the plate (3), and the vessel(s) [4]) form the air chamber (24) and act as an evaporation barrier. As water evaporates from the reservoir (6) it condenses along the walls containing the air chamber (24). Water is thereby reclaimed by the reservoir or is absorbed by the soil in the upper chamber (7).
