  • Publication number: 20130047507
    Abstract: An arrangement for growing plants has a first plant growth container and, optionally, one or more additional plant growth containers. Each plant growth container has a watering reservoir and a growth box, positioned above the watering reservoir, the reservoir and growth box separated by a divider. The watering reservoir is adapted to retain a volume of water therein and the growth box is adapted to retain an amount of a plant growth medium. A wicking device communicates the water to the growth medium. There is also a system for setting and maintaining a constant level of water in the watering reservoir. When additional plant growth containers are present, each watering reservoir is connected with the system for maintaining the constant water level. When the growth boxes of the arrangement are identically sized, they can be arranged in abutting relationship to define a cluster of the plant growth containers.
