The water sits right below the soil level. The roots reach for the water. It's okay for the roots to sit in water as long as there is an air gap. The water should never reach the soil box
Having the soil submerged in water is likely to cause root rot. Don't recommend this.
This is actually a perfect self-watering planter. While many plant roots *may* rot with overwatering, most plants like herbs actually can be grown completely in water hydroponically depending on the nutrients in the water. Pan/tray watering is actually the preferred method to get root development to start and the water gap here is like 2 inches for a half gallon of water hydrating the entire soil block. This is actually a decent window box because it protects the water from bugs...
Awfully small. Slap an extra 5 bucks on it and double the size.
This was my initial thought, but my window sills on my porch actually only have a 4.5 inch edge, so they are actually perfect for most windowsills. For a general planter, this is small and expensive, but specifically for a window box this is actually a great size. Still debating whether I need to actually buy one or not, but I'm trying to give my honest feedback on the utility and pricing.

Hydroponics do not involve actual soil and are a very different thing than "soil in pots submerged in water". Respectfully, the comparison to hydro as if they're the same thing tells me all I need to know.

Who are you quoting there with your understanding of hydroponics being soil in water? Did you read the actual post?

This person was permabanned from Reddit for trolling, so I wouldn't read too far into anything they have to say about anything.

There should be a thick cotton rope between the soil and the water. It is used to absorb water to keep the soil moist, but it won't let the water soak the soil directly.

I'm talking about this product that we're talking about. Haha. This isn't a product designed for hydroponics like you're talking about. It's meant to have plants in soil in the tray inserts and those sitting directly in the water and wicking up the water. It's just not a good system. That's all. A hydroponic system like you're mentioning like the Aerogarden is a better choice. Or just a traditional planter.

There isn't for this product, though. It just isn't a very good one.

Just like with plants in the ground and hydroponics, plants grow best when the roots need to grow to reach the water. With just about every seed type, you're going to seed root development past the 3 inch deep mark in about a week, so aside from the initial watering and some spraying to give seedlings easier breakthrough spots depending on your medium, this is fine. The rope would cause rot, whereas water in the lower area will passively evaporate and provide 100% humidity to the soil block without it being soggy or water-logged - perfect for plants. If you just by pregrown plants from the store and fill the water line up to the rim, then yeah, you're going to drown your plants, but if you actually following the instructions for how these things work then you shouldn't have any issues.
