I noticed that Wal-Mart has a new style self watering planter this year. It seems to be of the same concept as an earthbox, except it dosen't have a fill tube, just a couple of spouts down at the water reservoir to fill it. It also dosen't have the plastic cover for the top either, but the basic principle looks about the same as far as the water reservoir, the wicking, and the divider screened area between water and soil. etc.
It looks like it holds a pretty good volume of water in the reservoir.
It comes in several sizes, both round and rectangular.
It's called the Plant-Spa.
Anyone seen it or used it yet ? I didn't notice any instructions for the fertilizing, or type potting mix or anything like that with it. Of course, we all know those 'secrets' are just for EB's... hehe
I'm anxious to hear from someone who's tried them. They look like they would work the same way if a plastic cover was used, along with the fertilier strip and the right potting mix.
Check it out and tell us what you think.
