Portable crop bed bag

Abstract

A portable levee system includes a bag having a preselected geometric shape. The bag is continuous in that it has a length at least equal to its width, and is preferably many times as long. A top portion of the bag is open for receiving nutrient rich dirt. A preferred geometric shape is a trapezoid. The bags preferably have a soaker hose extending through an end and over a plurality of lateral webs within the bag. The bags may be filled with dirt and crops planted therein. The soaker hose may be attached to a pump and water source to provide water to the crops. A plurality of bags may be linearly aligned in order to form a plurality of rows of crops.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A portable crop bed bag, comprising: 
 a bag, said bag having a preselected geometric shape and an opening in an upper portion for receiving fill material;    said bag having a soaker hose extending within said bag along a longitudinal dimension of said bag;    said soaker hose connected to a water supply.    
     
     
         2 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of lateral webs disposed within said crop bed bag.  
     
     
         3 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 2 , said lateral webs having a height less than a height of said crop bed bag.  
     
     
         4 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 1 , said hose having a plurality of holes therein and extending through an end of said bag.  
     
     
         5 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 1 , said preselected geometric shape being trapezoidal.  
     
     
         6 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 5 , said bag having tapered sides and substantially vertical ends defining said trapezoidal shape.  
     
     
         7 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 6 , said sides and ends defining said opening in said upper portion.  
     
     
         8 . A portable crop bed bag, comprising: 
 a bag having a trapezoidal shape defined by vertical ends and tapered sides;    said bag having a hose extending longitudinally through said bag;    said bag having a plurality of lateral webs extending between said sides;    said webs having a height lower than a height of said bag.    
     
     
         9 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 8 , said bag having an opening defined by said ends and said sides.  
     
     
         10 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 8 , said sides being tapered and said ends being substantially vertical.  
     
     
         11 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 8 , said soaker hose being connected to a pressurized water source.  
     
     
         12 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 8 , said bag having a height of between about 1 foot and one and a half feet.  
     
     
         13 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 11 , said hose having a plurality of holes therein.  
     
     
         14 . A portable crop bed bag, comprising: 
 a bag, said bag having a preselected geometric shape including tapered sides and substantially vertical ends;    said bag having a plurality of lateral webs extending between said sides;    said lateral webs having a height less than said bag;    a hose extending through said ends and over said lateral webs, longitudinally through said bag;    said bags having a fill material disposed therein and a plurality of crops planted longitudinally within said bag;    said hose positioned between about one and two inches beneath a surface of said dirt.    
     
     
         15 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 14 , said preselected shape being trapezoidal.  
     
     
         16 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 14  having a plurality of bag guides extending from said sides.  
     
     
         17 . The portable crop bed bag of  claim 14 , said hose having a plurality of holes therein.  
     
     
         18 . A crop bed, comprising: 
 a plurality of crop bed bags longitudinally aligned;    said bags forming a plurality of rows;    said bags having dirt therein and a plurality of crops planted in said dirt.
