fig9 a riser 15 may be connected to the reservoir container 10 to increase the capacity of the second volume 46 the penetrable partition 30 has at least one penetrable opening 36 the penetrable opening 36 dimension is such that growing medium not shown is prevented from falling into the first volume 48 but still allows liquids to flow through the penetrable opening 36 the penetrable partition 30 is supported by at least two partition cup 32 held in position a ledge 60 that extends into the reservoir container 10 the partition cup 32 extends the penetrable partition 30 into the cavity of the first volume 48 the partition cup 32 has at least one partition cup opening 34 the size of the partition cup opening 34 is similar to the penetrable opening 36 the partition cup 32 allows the growing medium to extend into the first volume 48 which will allow the growing medium to wick water up into the growing medium generally the partition cups 32 is modeled from the for the same material as the penetrable partition 30 those skilled in the art will recognize that the number size location or location of the penetrable openings 36 the partition cups 32 the first volume 48 the second volume 46 and the penetrable cup openings 34 may vary based upon the growing medium plant types and water conditions as shown in fig8 a channel 68 is located at the interior base of the reservoir 10 at least a portion of the channel 68 has a perforated wall 70 the perforated wall 70 allows liquids to drain into the channel 68 yet still contain items such as gravel or filters in the channel 68 or alternatively to keep gravel or filter material out of the channel.
