[0024] U.S. Pat. No. 3,534,498 to Herrli (1970) reveals a water container with a housing that allows a pot to be positioned at different elevations. For the hydroponics plants, the pot can be submerged. For other plants, the pot is positioned above the water level. A wick transports the water upward to the pot. As the water is used up, however, the water level drops and the plant cannot get sufficient water through the capillary action of the wick.
