Brooklyn Pie Shop Window Boxes Become Sub-irrigated Planters (SIPs)
Even rather mundane wooden window boxes can become highly productive and efficient portable micro gardens (PMGs) using the sub-irrigated planter (SIP) method. Simply line the box with sheet plastic to make it watertight, install some inverted nursery flats to create a water and air reservoir. Add a recycled water bottle (PET) fill tube and one or more overflow drain holes and you're good to grow.
Plants have been added and the SIP is now ready for water. Simply pour it into the recycled ((PET) water bottle fill tube. As soon as you see some water dribbling out of the overflow drain hole tube(s) you're done!
