Modular soil conserving planter
| Details |
Inventors: Michailiuk, Rosa;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Raduazo; Henry E.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Silverman; M K.
A modular soil conserving planter constitutes a longitudinal trough having open transverse end faces, the trough including a lower horizontal grate and an upper horizontal grate, each of such grates extending along substantially the longitudinal length of the trough, the lower grate defining a drainage grate and the upper grate defining a soil retention grate, a region of the trough beneath the drainage grate including apertures for control of drainage from the trough, in which longitudinal ends of the trough. Each longitudinal end of the trough further include means for selectable connections to open end faces of adjoining like planters. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The instant modular soil conserving planter is definable in terms of a linear or curvilinear trough having open transverse end faces thereof.
The width of the linear or curvilinear mouth of the trough is controlled through the use of a plurality of anti-spread brackets which are snap-fittably secured to rigid longitudinal lips of each side of each planter unit.
Each planter further includes a lower drainage grate which is located at a horizontal level within the trough of the planter, and extending the longitudinal length thereof, which grate is located in the range of about twenty to about thirty-five percent of the greatest vertical height, that is, the top and the bottom dimension, of the planter.
In the bottommost region of the planter, beneath the drainage gate, are provided drainage openings which comprise means for selectably controlling the rate at which water can escape from the planter through the effect of gravity and osmosis from surrounding soil.
Situated above the drainage grate is the nutrient enriched growing soil which is provided with whatever degree of water or moisture is appropriate for the particular plant to be housed within the planter.
Situated above the growing region (which extends to the entire longitudinal length of the planter) is a soil grate which is situated at a horizontal location which is just below the horizontal level of the mouth of the planter-defining linear or curvilinear trough.
An upper side location of each side of each end, adjacent to said open transverse faces, of each planer unit is provided means for selectable securement, as by snap-clip or fit means, to a successive or abutting planter to thereby provide to an user of the instant system a means which are of value for landscaping and soil control purposes.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a modular soil conserving planter to protect nutrients and moisture-containing top soil from the effects of rain, wind and absorption by the surrounding unenriched soil and to facilitate botanical enrichment of the environment in nutrient-poor soil regions such as the desert
