    摘要: Provided is a device which can be used to create cavities within the growing media of plant containers to prevent or mitigate against the effects of too much liquid being applied to the growing media. These cavities generally fall into two categories: exfiltration cavities or venting cavities. The exfiltration cavities created by the device allow for the exfiltration of liquid from the growing media of a plant container into the cavities. The venting cavities created by the device provide a space for airflow between the exfiltration cavities and airspace above the growing media in the planting container, so as to facilitate evaporation of the liquid collected in the exfiltration cavity. Also provided is a method for mechanical removal of liquid from the cavities created by the device.
