Make Lush Living Walls with Woolly Pockets
For anyone interested in home gardening, especially those looking for creative ways to make the limited space of urban gardens work, there is a product on the market that is an absolute must-have. Woolly Pockets are earth-friendly, flexible plastic gardening containers that are ideally suited for the creation of small space gardening and living walls of greenery that maximize the growing potential of small garden areas.
This versatile planting system can be used indoors or outdoors, and the modularity of Woolly Pockets makes them easy to be mounted on vertical surfaces or placed on horizontal surfaces. Pockets are constructed from an industrial felt made of 100 percent recycled plastic bottles to contain the growing medium. This felt material is breathable, allowing the free exchange of gases that are so vital for plant health, as well as wicking water and nutrients directly to the root system of the living plants. The outside of the Woolly Pocket is a moisture barrier made of 60 percent recycled plastic bottles. This military-grade material is hand-stitched with UV-resistant nylon thread to provide maximum durability.
The uses Woolly Pockets can be put to are only limited by the imaginations and experience of the home gardener. Herb gardens can sprout on windowsills, tomatoes and peppers and other tasty vegetables can be raised on doorsteps and front porches, a living wall of cascading perennials can be created along an unsightly back fence that provides privacy and the creation of an idyllic bower of green serenity in the heart of the city. Woolly Pocket meadow containers can be used to create islands of bountiful growth and greenery in interior spaces or on patios or balconies, and the Woolly Pocket Wally can be hung on any vertical surface to make a lush and living plants cape of even the tightest of spaces.
