Planter Reservoir, Well Planters, Well Planter

“PlanterWell” self watering reservoir systems for window boxes, pots and planters keep your plants and flowers moist for up to a month. With 17 different sizes and shapes (rectangle, square, round and bowl), we offer the selection needed to irrigate nearly any planter or window box. Please note: our systems drop inside your plant containers – the actual plant container, window box, hanging basket, pot or planter is not included. Many of our residential and commercial customers choose to link our reservoirs at different depths within their planters to provide irrigation to the flowering plants near the top while a separate reservoir placed in the bottom feeds the root ball of larger plants. This “multiple tier” approach to linking reservoirs is unlike any other system available today.

“PlanterWell” self watering reservoirs can keep most window boxes or planters properly irrigated for an entire month with one filling. This reduces the number of times you need to water while also conserving water (not to mention the extremely large amount of time that daily watering requires). Cities, hospitals and colleges have all reduced maintenance costs significantly by using our “PlanterWell” reservoir systems. In a time when water conservation is critical - "PlanterWell" options from Hooks and Lattice can be the best and simplest solution for window box and planter watering. PlanterWell reservoirs are easy to install, easy to maintain, eliminate water runoff and have the added benefit of being a water harvesting system during the rainy season.

Our Hooks and Lattice "Planter Well" window box and planter self watering reservoirs come in many convenient sizes to fit all your window boxes and planters.  In addition, you can link multiple "Planter Well" window box and planter reservoirs to irrigate a larger planter.  For example if you have a window box that measures 7" inside width by 7" inside height by 71" inside length you can use our WW6-4 "Planter Well" reservoir kit that has four 6" reservoirs connected in series with one fill location.   This would give your window box a full gallon of water to draw from and provide a consistent moisture level that will keep your flowers irrigated for up to a month.  Irrigation times very depending on climate zones and temperatures and therefore it might be necessary to purchase a larger than recommended kit in a desert or other high temperature and low humidity area.  

 

Installation is simple:

Step One: Place a drainage mat or 1" of gravel in the bottom of your window box or planter.

Step Two: Place the Hooks and Lattice "Planter Well" reservoir into the window box or planter directly on top of the gravel or irrigation mat. 

Step Three: Insert the 1 1/4" PVC fill tube into the "Water Well" reservoir.

Step Four: Place a high quality potting mix into the window box or planter up to the desired level- Tamp down the soil, do not pack.

Step Five: Place plants into the planter and add more planting mix around the plant.  

Step Six: Add water into the fill tube until the "Planter Well" reservoir is full.

Step Seven: Replenish water in tank as required to maintain desired moisture level (every 3-8 weeks)

For larger planters and window boxes Hooks and Lattice is available to design a self water reservoir system that can be set up on a sprinkler system.  Because each large planter application is different it is best to give us a call on these more intricate irrigation systems.
