Abstract:

The object of the invention is to provide a method and device for the growing of tomatoes and other vegetables out from the bottom of a container suspended above ground thereby eliminating the conventional problems routinely associated with home gardening. In particular, the device allows gardening in a space efficient manner without having to routinely weed and water the plant soil. A drip well in the top of the container provides a constant source of moisture and suspension of the container above ground eliminates the threat of ground borne insects and small animal pests without the use of pesticides and repellents.
