Table Drainboard with watering plants
Not a drop of wasted water! We care about the ecology and conservation of the planet's water resources! A brilliant idea of using a dish dryer was offered by the Italian design studio Mathery Studio. It's even strange that the world-famous IKEA does not yet sell dryers in different sizes and colors. "Scolapianta" is a table drier for dishes with two legs only on one side. Thus, the other side can be put on pots with indoor plants, so that excess water from wet plates flows directly into the ground. If you have many indoor plants, includingIn the kitchen, and you wash the dishes not in the dishwasher, but with your hands, then you still need to have such a functional dryer. You can choose plants depending on the frequency of washing dishes and the amount that will be dried on the stand. If it's a couple of plates and a cup a day - choose succulents and plants that need very little water, and moisture-loving greens are suitable for the full loading of the dryer with wet dishes a couple of times a day.
This small improvement of the ordinaryDryer for dishes strongly affected its functionality, especially in the situation of strict water saving. And it is very easy to make such a support yourself or to improve existing ones. The main thing is to have a small slope of the dryer surface to drain water into the pots. And, of course, for the health and long life of plants and people, the dishes should be thoroughly rinsed after detergents, or even better - use not natural chemistry, but natural organic remedies.
By the way, this idea can be implemented as a stand for toothbrushes, from which a little water also flows.
