Abstract: A planter system is provided which controls the rate of evaporation of moistening liquid and continuously supplies liquid to growth media contained therewithin. The planter system comprises a means for housing the growth media and a means for storing moistening liquid. A transferring means within the housing and storage means transports the moistening liquid from the storage means to the growth media. The housing and storage means are adapted for movement to an open or closed position. In the open position, a passageway is formed for adding water to the storage means. In the closed position, the storage means is completely enclosed, thereby minimizing evaporation so that it is not necessary to add water thereto for extended periods of time.
