A Flexible New In-Ground Planter That Saves Water
Written on May 2, 2008
If you are looking for a more flexible alternative to rotate or move your in-ground plants, the Plant Exchange InGround Planter System is designed to not only give you more control, but it conserves water too.
The product is really just a 10-inch flowerpot that you place in the ground inside a permanently installed sleeve. A vented tray in the container allows the plant to sit above a reservoir, which holds up to a quart of water.
The water retaining design allows the water to stay with your plant, so less watering is needed than in conventional planting. If your flowers fade and you want to exchange them for a different seasonal show, you simply pull the pot out of its sleeve, replant it and replace in the ground.
Practical for a variety of reasongs, the system lets you turn plants for better sun exposure, remove plants during winter months for indoor keeping and keep invasive plants from spreading.
A set of three polypropylene planters and sleeves costs $21.99 plus $10 for shipping and handling. It can be ordered at www.ingroundplanter.com or by sending a check or money order to P.O. Box 42802, Evergreen Park, IL 60805-9998.
