  • Patent number: 6370819
    Abstract: A plant watering system in accordance with the present invention includes a container having a bottom formed with a plurality of drain openings and a plurality of leg structures. Each leg structure has a lower section which is separated from an upper section by an abutment structure. The leg structures are formed of a material that provides sufficient structural integrity for supporting the container and the associated soil and plant therein. The upper section of each leg structure is inserted into a respective opening to thereby engage the abutment structure with the bottom of the container. The container is then placed in a reservoir of water. With this configuration, the lower sections of the leg structures extend into water. The leg structures draw water from the reservoir and deliver the water to the soil and plant roots. At the same time, the leg structures function to space-apart the reservoir from the container to prevent direct contact between the container bottom and the water.
