The Soil is Kept Moist by the Water Feeding through the Sponges from the Under Side
The window box for flowers can be conveniently watered in the following manner: Construct a metal box to receive the box holding the soil and bore enough holes in its bottom to admit water to the soil. The inside box should be supported about 2 in. above the bottom of the metal box. Sponges are placed in the bottom to coincide with the holes in the soil box. A filling tube is made at the end. The water is poured into the metal box and the sponges admit only enough water for the plants at all times.
