Abstract
A plant enclosure for outdoor use has a hollow body (2) with open upper and lower ends and ventilation and drainage openings (12). In order to permit a desired amount of water to be conserved within the base of the enclosure, the openings are positioned such that a portion of the body may be buried in the soil, with the openings spaced above the soil surface. The base of the body has plant root openings (8), positioned to be buried beneath the soil surface. These openings are sized to permit plant roots to grow laterally outwardly close to the soil surface, beyond the perimeter of the enclosure. A lid is engageable to the upper rim of the body. The lid has a recessed portion (26) on its upper surface to that capture rain or sprinkler water. Apertures within the lid permit the captured water to drain into the enclosure. Preferably, the body and lid are clear or translucent to create a greenhouse effect during daylight hours.
Claims
1. A plant enclosure for outdoor use of the type comprising a hollow body (2) having a sidewall with upper and lower rims and open upper and lower ends, at least one ventilation and drainage aperture (12) extending through the sidewall, characterized by said at least one opening being adjacent said lower rim, said lower rim having a generally sinusoidal configuration that defines an array of root growth openings (8) extending into said enclosure at said lower rim to permit a plant root to grow therethrough.
2. An enclosure as in claim 1, wherein said lower rim is characterized by an array of downwardly-depending fingers (6), with gaps (8) between said fingers defining said root growth openings.
3. An enclosure as in claim 1, further comprising a removable lid (4) engageable to said upper end.
4. An enclosure as in claim 3, wherein said lid is clear or translucent.
5. An enclosure as in claim 3, wherein said lid is characterized by water entry apertures (22) to admit water into said enclosure.
6. An enclosure as in claim 5, wherein said lid incorporates water capture means, consisting of a recessed region (26) vvithin an upper surface of the lid capable of receiving and capturing water falling as rain or from a sprinkler, and said water entry apertures (22) are positioned to drain said captured water into the enclosure.
