modern methods of growing food, foliage or flowers for the millions of us who are not green thumbs. a new way to deliver water to sub-irrigated planters in the balcony pollinator garden...or anywhere else for that matter. perhaps you have seen a tank on wheels similar to this one in a garden center, office or indoor garden. it is called a water machine and they are very common in the interior plantscapng business. perhaps more visible to consumers are the water machines the entry level price for professional water machines is about $1,000. obviously not a retail consumer product unless you are a 1 percenter in addition to the sub-irrigated balcony pollinator demonstration garden i am also creating a new urban greenscaping lab studio complete i have been experimenting and researching better ways to grow both decorative and edible plants using indoor light gardens for about 18 years now. they have provided a wealth of open source information about sub-irrigated planters, methods and tools. for example, replenishing the water in sub-irrigated planter reservoirs saves a lot of time and water as compared to watering the same number of plants in traditional drain hole planters but its still a physical chore.  lugging water around in utility trays holding 8 recycled plastic milk bottles is physically demanding. each tray of 8 plastic half-gallon containers weighs over 66 lbs. remember the old water weight phrase...a pints a pound the world around? my back remembers it.  it is long overdue that i find a better way to haul water. here it is via a couple of products from amazon. incidentally i do not get any money from amazon links. there is no revenue generated by this blog or the plant research lab.  amazon via reliance products ($25.97). its primary use is by campers. the battery operated (2 aa) pump sticking out of the tank is also from this machine is powered by 2 aa batteries. there is not enough power in the pump to move water from the tank to high places. it is perfect
