STORMWATER PLANTER SYSTEM
A stormwater planter system containing plant material being comprised of a container fabricated of concrete, metal, plastic, or the like, that captures surface rainwater runoff or roof rainwater runoff whereby debris, sands, sediment, pollutants within the water are separated, treated and/or attenuated via multiple processes within a predetermined organic and/or non-organic aggregate material layer. The water is then discharged from the container either through internal pipe, or by direct infiltration into the subsurface environment. More particularly, the system incorporates features and structures to enable ease of maintenance, and healthier plant growth without competition from weeds and other non-desirable plant material.

Apparatus for growing plants
An apparatus for growing plants (100) is provided. The apparatus comprises at least one base member (110) having a periphery (112), at least one cover member, or wall member (120), having at least one channel (122a, 122b), and at least one intermediate filter (170) operable to be supported by the at least one cover member (120). The one or more cover members (120) are couplable to the periphery (112) of the at least one base member for providing a hollow space (140), and the at least one channel is operable to receive at least one tubular member (160, 162) supported at a distance from the at least one base member. The at least one intermediate filter is arranged for dividing the hollow space into at least two segments (172, 174). The apparatus is optionally operable to provide irrigation of one or more plants growing therein from seawater supplied to a bottom region of the apparatus.

Tree trunk housing and adjustable tarp water-saving device
A water-saving device comprising a hollow frusto-conical housing having a wide lower end adapted to overlie a ground surface and a narrow upper end. A flexible tarp is integrally connected around the circumference of the narrow upper end of the housing, and a draw string is integrally attached around the circumference of a upper end of the flexible tarp. The draw string is pulled taught to reduce the circumference of the upper end of the flexible tarp and enclose the tarp around the tree trunk.

A New Plant Growing Assist Device
A new plant growing assist device, comprising a container, a separator in the middle of the container dividing it into upper part to keep the soil for planting, and lower part to act as a water reservoir, the bottom of the container is provided with a snorkel, around the said snorkel there is a buckle which used to connect it with raw water pipe. The device utilizes the reflux of the natural rainfall water and the vapor of the earth surface; it can effectively save irrigation water, ensures the survival of trees planted in the desert, and reduces the cost of desertification control. The several through holes of the separator ensure proper ventilation; the monitoring window makes it possible to observe the water level inside the water reservoir, the top of the container is covered to prevent water evaporation, out-extending holes are provided to allow the roots to extend outside.
Plant Watering Device
A plant watering device. The plant watering device includes an outer container having a plurality of apertures on a lower portion of a first sidewall, an inner container having a second sidewall defining and open upper end and an open lower end, wherein the second sidewall of the inner container is secured to an interior surface of the first sidewall of the outer container via a fastener; and an apron encircling an outer side of the first sidewall. The plant watering device is securable to the ground via a stake. In use, water is poured into the inner container, flows through the open lower end of the inner container to the outer container interior volume, and then exits the apertures of the outer container. This allows the water to gently diffuse around an area where a plant is planted, while the apron prevents soil erosion and damage to the plant.
