Planter with tubular air hole member

Claim 1

A removable planter insert structure for a receptacle open at the top and having an imperforate bottom, said insert structure comprising a horizontal perforated wall member adapted to be disposed within a receptacle and spaced above the bottom thereof to divide the receptacle into upper and lower compartments; said wall member having aperture means therein; tubular means having a cross section such as to slideably interfit said aperture means and to project upwardly through said aperture and above said horizontal wall; said tubular means having spacer means for limiting the extent to which said tubular means can project through said aperture means and for supporting said wall member a determined distance above the bottom of a receptacle; said tubular means being perforated below said spacer means to allow air and water to pass radially therethrough; said upper compartment adapted to hold soil to a level below the upper ends of said tubular means whereby when excess water from said soil passes through said perforated horizontal wall and collects in said lower compartment, said tubular members provide means for air circulation and evaporation within said lower compartment and said perforated wall portion provides means for humid air to aerate said soil and keep it moist.
