The reason is that a relatively small pot with a plant that has large leaves that don’t funnel rainwater in, or a pot close to a wall, won’t get a lot of water hit the pot itself…

I love this idea…I leave my watering cans out in the rain, but they never collect much.

I say keep it metal and make it different sizes and thicknesses so that when the rain drops hit it, it makes various musical notes….as a matter of fact you could make a whote set tuned to a specific scale. The effect could be really nice…and you’d be collecting rain water!

This would be ideal in an amergency kit. You would be able to harvest rainwater. I agree that in a plant pot it is overkill and would likley drown the plant in question.

Obviously it doesn’t suit some climates and some plants but in general it mimics the inward facing leaves of some real “water conscious” plants – but why is it made using high energy aluminium – is this not contrary to energy saving. Why not use potato (see spudware article) or waterproof paper leaves instead? May not last as long but at least the length of ones vacation.

But…but…but…. here’s a device (actually a clever marketing construct aimed at the trendy greenies) that is totally not necessary.

If a plant is outside it will get the water it needs – funneling it will more likely overwater the poor thing.

If the plant is inside use a watering can.

I love it when “designers” create tools wasting resources.

Very clever, it’s something I’ve always wanted to find but didn’t realise they existed!
