Self Watering Garden Containers for Up to 12 Weeks! Lechuza

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

I discovered this stylish, self watering garden containers at the Independent Garden Center Show. What I like about the Lechuza planters is that they come in many sizes, can be used indoors or outdoors, range in style from modern to traditional and they are lightweight! Can you beat that formula. Once the plants are established, you only need to water them about every 10 to 12 weeks. Go on vacation. Perfect for offices, dentist, medical centers and the stylish home.

          Self-Watering Container Gardening System: Richard’s Garden

          Friday, April 27th, 2012

          Richard has added eight containers of various sizes and shapes to his self-watering container garden, one of which is the EarthBox. He used the two EarthBoxes last year but with very little success because he couldn’t keep up with the watering because of the drought and his traveling. Now, by attaching the EarthBoxes to the self-watering system he only has to check one water reservoir and all eight of his containers will get watered. He and his wife like to travel so they could connect the float bucket to a garden hose and be gone for an extended period of time and not worry about watering, fertilizing or weeding their garden.

                  Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Due to many reasons including the variations of plants, the density of planting and the ability to stack these containers make them the ultimate container for container gardening. Imagine being able to grow forty plants in a one foot area!
