Can the planters be made with self-contained water reservoirs?
Yes, and they perform beautifully. We call it IROX* because it provides both IRrigating and OXygenating requirements of living plants. IROX* is a self-contained, internal watering system option in the fabrication of STONEWEAR containers that supplies both IRrigation and OXygen to the plant s root structure. IROX* creates a dynamic, self-controlled, natural relationship between the plant environment and the moisture/air ratios required for optimum subsurface growth. This means that appropriate but different amounts of water is available for plants in the same general area, but with different exposures to the sun and wind. IROX performs well in both interior and exterior applications. There is more detail on IROX in Technical Topics. With plant combinations where there are major level changes in the root location a two tier IROX system is required. The most common example of this would be deep rooted trees or large shrubs with small seasonal flowering ground cover around the base of the
