20090255179 | Plant retainer for retaining a plant for growth from the side or bottom of a planter - A planter for growing a transplantable plant includes a container having a sidewall and a bottom and further includes a retainer member for retaining a plant which has been transplanted within the container through the sidewall or bottom thereof. The retainer member defines an expandable opening which is movable between expanded and normally-collapsed conditions so that by urging a plant root system end-first against the retainer member, the expandable opening is moved to an expanded condition to permit the root system to pass through the expandable opening into the container interior. Upon passage of the root system through the expandable opening, the expandable opening is permitted to return toward its normally-collapsed condition about the stem of the plant to thereby prevent the withdrawal of the root system of the plant from the container interior through the plant retainer. | 10-15-2009 |

20100287832 | Hanging planter - A planter capable of being hung from an elevated support includes an open-topped container for containing dirt or potting soil placed therein and a plurality of suspension elements, or cords, which are disposed about and are attached to or act upon the container for suspending the container from an elevated support. The suspension elements extend upwardly from the peripheral edge of the container top and are joined together at a common point disposed above the container for suspension of the planter from the elevated support. In addition, a spacer member is arranged and spaced above the top of the container and cooperates with the suspension elements for preventing the suspension cords from converging toward one another for a distance above the container which corresponds with the spaced distance between the container top and the spacer member. | 11-18-2010 |
20100287834 | Terraced garden planter - A planter includes a center post and a series of upwardly-opening disc-shaped growing compartments which are arranged in a sequential relationship along the length of the center post and are suspended from the top of the center post. Each of the growing compartments has a center opening through which the center post extends so that the growing compartments are maintained in a centered relationship about the center post. Furthermore, a lowermost growing compartment has a substantially solid bottom for containing dirt or potting soil placed therein, and the remainder of the growing compartments have bottoms within which including relatively large openings are defined to accommodate the passage of relatively large clumps of dirt or potting soil through the bottoms thereof so that each of the growing compartments can be filled with dirt or potting soil placed into the uppermost growing compartment. | 11-18-2010 |
20100288854 | Watering wand and plant-feeding system - A watering wand system for delivering water to an elevated planter utilizes a stiff hollow tube having a crooked head end which accommodates the hooking of the head end over the upper edge of a planter, a grip of substantial thickness, and a spacer member joined to the tube adjacent the head end thereof which separates the head end of the tube from the dirt or potting soil contained within the planter when the head end is hooked over the upper edge of the planter. A conduit is connected to the tube for delivery of water to the tube from a source, a nutrient-containing assembly is connected in-line with the conduit, and a valve assembly is associated with the conduit for permitting a user to set the rate of water flowing through the tube at relatively slow conditions. | 11-18-2010 |
