Portable Micro Garden (PMG) » A Dinky Window Box Becomes A Highly Productive And Efficient Sub-irrigated Planter

This widely available window box was easily converted to a highly productive and efficient sub-irrigated planter (SIP). The same method was used here and here.

 

It did not take long for these plants to grow and spill over the sides of the planter. They love growing in an intensive care unit like this. They get all the sun they need from the sky and all the water and oxygen the roots need from the SIP. They have the best of both the natural and technology worlds.
