Umbrella Stand Uses Runoff to Water Plants

Here’s a simple concept: An umbrella stand that directs wet umbrella run off to a plant-filled tray. I one day hope to live in a modern house with modern furniture surrounded by geometrically symmetric patches of indoor lawn, so I enjoy the idea of this immensely. [what else via bigchief.it]

    This idea kicks arse! I see not only a practical way to avoid puddles, but it works so well as a reminder that we (aussies) need to be always conserving our water. Every little bit helps, and a little green never goes a miss…!
