Now you can take that month long backpacking voyage without worrying that your herb garden will wilt and die in your absence. The folks over at WetPot have created a plant potting system that, quite simply, "allows your plants to take care of themselves." Through the process of capillary attraction, the plants absorb their necessary quota of water through a clay pot covered by a specially formulated glaze. Supposedly, this prevents both under and over-watering, providing a constant source of sustenance. With the clear container, you can also easily monitor the level of available water. It comes in small ($26), medium ($34), and large ($48) sizes, fitting most average sized house plants. If only this invention could be adapted to the serve the needs of small children! The future latch-key mothers and fathers of America could say goodbye to daycare and hello to a romantic day at the track.
