Disclosed is a system having a base and a screened enclosure for disposition on the ground for growing plants. The base forms a hollow enclosure into which a growing medium can be disposed. The screened enclosure is mounted on the base and is in the form of a plurality of elongated frame members, plural upper screen members and plural lower screen members. Each of the screen members has an opposed pair of side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge. The frame members extend upward from the base and are spaced apart from one another. Each of the frame members includes a first respective section arranged to slidably receive a respective side of a respective lower screen member therein and a second respective section arranged to slidably receive a respective side of a respective upper screen member therein. Each of the upper and lower screen members are arranged to be individually removed from their respective sections of their associated frame members to enable each of the screen members to be individually removed from the frame members.
A system for disposition on the ground for growing plants, said system comprising a base and a screened enclosure, said base being arranged to be disposed on the ground and having a plurality of interconnected sections forming a hollow enclosure into which a growing medium can be disposed, said screened enclosure being mounted on said base encircling said hollow enclosure, said screened enclosure comprising a plurality of elongated frame members, at least one upper screen member and at least one lower screen member, each of said screen members having an opposed pair of side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge, said plurality of elongated frame members being connected to said base and extending upward therefrom, a first one of said frame members and a second one of said frame members defining a gap therebetween, each of said first and second frame members comprising a respective section arranged to receive a respective side of said lower screen member, wherein said bottom edge of said lower screen member can be placed in a position immediately adjacent said base, each of said first and second frame members additionally comprising a section arranged to receive a respective side of said upper screen member therein, wherein said bottom edge of said upper screen member can be placed in a position immediately adjacent said top edge of said lower screen member, each of said upper and lower screen members being arranged to be individually removed from its respective section of its associated frame members to enable each of said screen members to be individually removed from said frame members.
A system for disposition on the ground for growing plants, said system comprising a base and a screened enclosure, said base being arranged to be disposed on the ground and having a plurality of interconnected sections forming a hollow enclosure into which a growing medium can be disposed, said screened enclosure being mounted on said base encircling said hollow enclosure and comprising a plurality of elongated frame members and a plurality of screen members, each of said screen members having an opposed pair of side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge, said plurality of elongated frame members being connected to said base and extending upward therefrom, with adjacent frame members defining a respective gap therebetween, each of said frame members comprising a respective track section arranged to slidably receive a respective side of a respective one of said screen members therein, wherein each of said screen members is slidably located within a respective gap, whereupon said bottom edge of each of said screen members can be slid to a position immediately adjacent said base, and wherein each of said screen members is arranged to be individually slid out of their respective tracks to enable each of said screen members to be individually removed from said frame members.
