A modular field planting system adapted for installation on a roof surface includes an arrangement of substantially identical tray members with each tray member containing two tray compartments. An array of first tray members is positioned on the roof surface with the tray members being in contiguous relationship and oriented in a first direction. A second tray member positionable in overlying relationship with respect to the first tray and rotated 90° with respect to the first direction, is nestably seated within corresponding tray compartments in each of two adjacent first tray members. A wicking material in the first tray member is placed in communication with a wicking material in the second tray member when the respective first and second tray members are seated. The first tray member is adapted to provide a reservoir for water and the second tray member is adapted to retain a growth medium whereby the wicking material provides continuous moisture migration for hydrating the growth medium.
A modular field planting system adapted for installation on a roof surface comprising a plurality of substantially identical tray members, each of said tray members defining at least two tray compartments, a first array of at least two tray members in contiguous relationship being positionable on the roof surface in a first orientation, a second array of at least one tray member being positionable in a second orientation with respect to the first array of tray members, the respective tray compartments of said second array of tray members being nestably seatable within corresponding tray compartments in each of two of the contiguous tray members, said tray compartments of said first array of tray members being adapted to provide a reservoir for water, said tray compartments of the second array of tray members being adapted to provide a receptacle for a growth medium, a wicking material within said respective tray compartments of the first and the second array of tray members, said wicking material in said tray compartment of said first array of tray members being in contact with the wicking material in said tray compartment of said second array of tray members when the respective tray compartments are nestably seated to provide moisture migration for hydrating the growth medium.
A modular field planting system adapted for installation on a planar surface comprising a plurality of tray members, each of said tray members defining at least one tray compartment, a first array of at least one tray member being positionable on the planar surface in a first orientation, a second array of at least one tray member being positionable in a second orientation with respect to the first array, the tray compartment of said second array being engageable within the tray compartment in the first array, said tray compartment of the first array being adapted to provide a reservoir for water, said tray compartment of the second array being adapted to provide a receptacle for a growth medium, a wicking material within said respective tray compartments of the first and the second array, said wicking material in said tray compartment of said first array being in contact with said wicking material in said tray compartment of said second array when the respective tray compartments are engaged to provide moisture migration for hydrating the growth medium.
