Continuous watering system. (A) Photograph of continuous watering system with 8 Ice-Cap plates in the upper tray. (B) Photograph of continuous watering system with Ice-Cap plates and metal tray removed to reveal metal rack. (C) Schematic of continuous watering system. Seedlings in Ice-Cap plates are placed in a rimmed metal pan. The pan is held in place over the larger reservoir by a metal rack. Screws in the rack allow the pan to be leveled. Water from a lower reservoir is constantly pumped into the pan and overflows back into the reservoir. The continuous flow of water into the upper pan ensures that the water level in the pan is always at the correct depth to keep the lower root plates of the Ice-Cap plates filled with water. Drawing is not to scale.
