The Plaine is composed of sunflower hulls. It is placed over the top of a pot filled with fertilized soil. As water is poured over the Plaine, it slowly biodegrades, distributing nutrients into the soil and eventually disappearing, making room for a plant to grow. The drawing shows the process of water traveling over the Plaine into the vessel below. Photo 2 of 9 in Organic Factory by Giles Belley by Sarah Rich
