Abstract: Drainage apparatus allows a vessel such as a plant pot to be advantageously drained of a fluid such as water. The inventive drainage apparatus includes a drainage member having a base member and a channel member. The base member is affixed to a portal of the pot so as to allow fluid drainage when the pot is filled with soil containing a fluid, such as water. Water gravitationally drains out of the portal and into the channel member of the drainage member, so as to dispose of the water at a selected distance away from the portal. Hence standing water below the pot, a common problem with potted plants, is avoided. The water can be further channeled away from the pot by engaging a hose member to the channel member. The drainage member can be affixed to the pot by a laminated adhesive layer or alternatively by caulking. The laminated adhesive layer can be affixed to the pot using a primer, if desired.

Abstract: Drainage/feeder apparatus allows a vessel such as a pot to be advantageously drained of and supplied with fluids. The inventive drainage apparatus includes a drainage/feeder member including a base member, a drainage channel member and a feeder channel member. The base member is affixed to a portal of the vessel so as to allow drainage and feeding of fluids when the vessel is filled with soil. Water gravitationally drains out of the portal and into the drainage channel member, so as to dispose of the water at a selected distance away from the portal. The waste water can be further channeled away from the pot by engaging a hose member to the channel member in order to channel the liquid farther away. Likewise, water, fertilizer or the like is introduced into the interior of the pot via the portal and the drainage channel member. The drainage/feeder member can be affixed to the pot by a laminated adhesive layer or alternatively by caulking.
