Abstract
Two bags made of impermeable, flexible plastic sheeting are suspended one above the other to form a system for growing and watering plants. The lower bag is open at its top end and filled with plant soil in which plant roots grow. The lower bag also has perforations along its side through which plant foliage grows and an upper fixation means used to suspend the system from a mounting hook. Drainage holes are provided at the lower bag's lower end. The upper bag has fixation means that suspend it above the soil contained in the lower bag. A series of pinholes pierced through the lower end of the upper bag permit water that is rapidly poured into the top of the bag to slowly drip onto the plant soil contained in the lower bag. Means are also disclosed for retaining and recycling excess water back into the system.
Description
Hanging Plant Bag With Integrated Watering Means T bags made of impermeable, flexible plastic sheeting are suspended one above the other to fo a system for growing and watering plants. The lower bag is open at its top end and filled ith plant soil in which plant roots grow. The lower bag also has perforations along its ide through which plant foliage grows and an upper fixation means used to suspend the syst from a mounting hook. Drainage holes are provided at the lower bag's lower end. The per bag has fixation means that suspend it above the soil contained in the lower bag. A s ies of pinholes pierced through the lower end of the upper bag permit water that is rapi poured into the top of the bag to slowly drip onto the plant soil contained in the lower ba Means are also disclosed for retaining and recycling excess water back into the Field of the invention This invention relates to horticulture and more specifically, to a container for growing plants.
Background of the invention One known means of cultivating plants is to grow them in a suspended bag of soil.
Typically, such hanging plant bags are made of a flexible plastic membrane that is heat welded to form a tubular bag. A loop or similar fixation means is provided near the bag's upper end that is hung onto a mounting hook embedded into a ceiling, wall or similar support structure. The bag's upper fixation loop may be formed by one or more holes in the upper sidewall of the bag. If more than one mounting hole is provided then they are typically brought together and hung onto the mounting hook. Alternatively, a single hole may be provided on one side of the bag. The flexible bag is closed at its lower end, thereby permitting it to retain soil. The gardener fills the bag with soil through its open, upper end. Slits in the bag's sidewall permit foliage to grow outside the hanging bag while the roots grow inside the bag.
A problem experienced with this type of planting bag is that the gardener must water the plants by pouring water into the top of the bag. Typically there is not enough free space in the top of the bag to accommodate enough water to moisten the entire soil mass. Therefore the gardener must pour small amounts of water into the top and wait for each portion to percolate down into the soil. This method of watering a hanging plant bag is therefore very time consuming.
Furthermore, since the top of a hanging plant bag is often mounted high offthe ground, this slow method of watering a hanging plant bag is awkward and fatiguing for the gardener.
Furthermore, if the gardener attempts to rush this method of watering by pouring a large volume of water into the top of the bag, pressure will cause much of said water to gush out the topmost sidewall apertures through which plants are growing.
Another problem experienced with this known type of hanging planting bag is that, even when watered slowly, eventually water will drip water out of the bottom of the bag and onto the ground below. This leakage therefore limits the use of such bags to outdoor areas or to greenhouses where a wet floor is not problematic. Furthermore, the leakage of excess water from the plant container wastes water resources.
It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide a hanging plant bag that incorporates an inexpensive and convenient means for slowly irrigating the growing medium.
It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a hanging plant bag that does not drip water onto the ground below it.
Other objectives and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description that follows and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Figure 1 is a front view of the hanging plant bag wherein the upper bag is integral with the lower bag and a single mounting hole is used to suspend the assembly.
Figure 2 is a side view of figure 1.
Figure 3 is a front view of the hanging plant bag wherein the upper bag is detachable from the lower bag and two mounting holes are used to suspend the assembly.
Figure 4 is a side view of figure 3.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
Figure 1 and Figure 2 illustrate an endless sidewall of flexible plastic membrane, closed at its lower end to form tubular plant bag 1. Plant bag 1 has opening 16 extending across its top, thereby permitting the gardener to fill the bag with planting soil 11. The plant bag's sidewall may include at least one raised portion that extends upwards from opening 16 to form mounting flap 13.
Mounting hole 4 pierces mounting flap 13 and receives mounting hook 3.
Mounting hook 3 is affixed to a rigid structure such as a wall or ceiling, thereby suspending plant bag 1 above the ground at a substantially vertical attitude.
Mounting flaps are optional configurations of plant bag 1 that simply improves the gardener's accessibility into opening 16. The invention may also be practiced without any mounting flaps protruding from the top of the plant bag's sidewall (not illustrated).
If no mounting flaps are provided then mounting holes 4 are simply pierced through plant bag 1 near its upper end.
In figures 1 and 2 mounting flap 13 is shown perfectly flat. Since plant bag l and mounting flap 13 are both made of flexible plastic membrane, both will in practice assume curves once the bag has been loaded and suspended above the ground.
In Figure 1 and Figure 2, mounting flap 13 is shown at a perfect right angle with respect to opening 16. Opening 16 may also be cut along an upward sloping angle across plant bag 1, thereby causing the angled side of mounting flap 13 to wrap fiwther around said opening, thereby improving the load carrying ability of plant bag 1 when hung onto mounting hook 3 (not illustrated).
Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate a preferred embodiment in which more than one mounting flap 13 is provided. Mounting holes 4 are provided in both the front and the rear mounting flaps, thereby improving the load carrying ability of plant bag 1 when hung onto mounting hook 3.
Figure 4 is a side view of figure 3.

Opening 16 may also be cut along an upward sloping angle across plant bag 1, thereby causing the angled side of mounting flap 13 to wrap fiwther around said opening, thereby improving the load carrying ability of plant bag 1 when hung onto mounting hook 3 (not illustrated).
Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate a preferred embodiment in which more than one mounting flap 13 is provided. Mounting holes 4 are provided in both the front and the rear mounting flaps, thereby improving the load carrying ability of plant bag 1 when hung onto mounting hook 3.
The sidewall of plant bag 1 has a plurality of plant apertures 6 cut through it.
Plants 7 grow through plant apertures 6 with their foliage growing outside the bag and their root growing inside the bag. Plant apertures 6 may be "T" shaped slits (illustrated) thereby minimizing soil spillage during watering. Alternatively, open apertures (not illustrated) may be employed to facilitate the placement of seedlings into the bag or to provide light and space for germinating seeds in plant soil 11.
The plurality of plant apertures 6 may be located along only one side of plant bag 1, thereby permitting the bag to be hung against a wall or post without damaging any growing plants 7.
The plurality of plant apertures 6 may also be located along all sides of plant bag 1, thereby facilitating plant growth in all directions when the bag is hung away from side obstructions (for example, when suspended in front of a window).
Plant apertures 6 may be precut during manufacture of plant bag 1.
Plant apertures 6 may also be cut only after it has been sold to the end user.
For example, a gardener might first determine the spacing and grouping of plant apertures that best suits the type of plant being cultivated and the bag's intended hanging site and only then cut apertures where they are needed on the bag. Markings (not illustrated) may be printed onto the outside of plant bag 1 as a visual aid for accurately cutting apertures along the desired grid.
Water bag 2 is formed by a continuous wall of impermeable plastic membrane material, closed at its bottom end, open at its top end and mounted immediately above the planting soil 11 contained in plant bag 1. Since water bag 2 is flexible, the gardener collapses it toward mounting flap 13 to provide access to opening 16 during loading of planting soil 11 into plant bag 1.
Water bag 2 has one or more drip holes 5 pierced though its lower extremity.
To use the watering system, the gardener rapidly fills water bag 2 with irrigation water 16.
Over a period of time, the irrigation water will slowly leak through drip holes 5 as water drops 12 and percolate through planting soil 11.
At least one drainage hole 10 is provided at the lower extremity of plant bag 1, thereby permitting excess water to drip through the system and onto the ground below.
In a preferred embodiment, slow dissolving fertilizer is occasionally added to water bag 2. During each subsequent watering cycle, a small amount of fertilizer will dissolve S into water drops 12 as they fall onto planting soil 11.
Figure l and Figure 2 illustrate a preferred embodiment in which water bag 2 is integral with and permanently attached to plant bag 1. Water bag 2 is comprised of a piece of flexible plastic membrane arced along its lower and side edges to the inside of mounting flap 13 to form a watertight pouch. Preferably, the plastic used to form water bag 2 is clear, thereby permitting the gardener to visually gauge the water level in the bag from a distance. If no mounting flap is provided, then water bag 2 is comprised of a piece of flexible plastic membrane affixed along its lower and side edges to the upper inside of plant bag 1 to form a watertight pouch (not illustrated). The plastic membrane material used to form water bag 2 against plant bag 1 may be pleated or otherwise deformed so as to increase its volume when filled with water.
Figure 3 and figure 4 illustrate a preferred embodiment in which water bag 2 is structurally discrete from and only temporarily attached to plant bag 1. Water bag 2 is pierced by front and rear mounting holes 4 near its upper edge. Temporary attachment to plant bag 1 occurs when water bag 2 is placed inside of the plant bag's two mounting flaps and the four mounting holes used to support the inner and outer bags are hung together onto mounting hook 4. As shown in figure 3, the open upper end of water bag 2 may be formed wide enough that a side extension of the bag protrudes from the mounting flaps, thereby facilitating the pouring of water into the upper bag.
When used indoors, excess water will often percolate through plant bag 1 and drip through drainage holes 10 onto the ground below. To prevent water damage when deployed indoors, watertight catchment bag 8 may be suspended below plant bag 1.
Catchment bag 8 is formed of impermeable plastic membrane material. Its shape is substantially the same as the lower portion of plant bag 1 however its proportions are somewhat larger, thereby providing a space between the two bags when plant bag 1 is inserted inside catchment bag 8. Temporary fixation means are provided to secure catchment bag 8 around the base of plant bag 1. For example, a series of protrusions 14 may be af~ed around the lower perimeter of plant bag 1. Corresponding mounting holes 15 are pierced through the upper perimeter of catchment bag 8, thereby permitting catchment bag 8 to be selectively attached or removed from its catchment position below plant bag 1. Other temporary bag fixation means based on mating elements on both bags will be obvious to those practiced in the art (e.g.: "Velcro" or "Ziplok"
style of attachment means).
In a preferred embodiment, catchment bag 8 is made of clear material, thereby permitting the gardener to visually gauge the water level in the bag from a distance.
Excess water may be left in catchment bag 8 for re-absorption up into planting soil 11 as the soil dries out and capillary forces come into play.
Alternatively, the gardener may detach catchment bag 8 when it is full and empty it into water bag 2 for re-percolation through the system.
Plants 7 grow through plant apertures 6 with their foliage growing outside the bag and their root growing inside the bag. Plant apertures 6 may be "T" shaped slits (illustrated) thereby minimizing soil spillage during watering. Alternatively, open apertures (not illustrated) may be employed to facilitate the placement of seedlings into the bag or to provide light and space for germinating seeds in plant soil 11.
The plurality of plant apertures 6 may be located along only one side of plant bag 1, thereby permitting the bag to be hung against a wall or post without damaging any growing plants 7.
