@1111atreides I have grown cantaloupe, tomatoes,peppers and a few other things in flower pots. Salad fixins can be grown in a 8"pot or other container all year long. the cantaloupe is small but tastes good. but you may be able to grow larger ones. some people just buy a big bag of dirt and cut the bag in the middle and grow vegetables.

Plantsonwalls [dot] com start at $33 for a mini-panel

Their website has lots of info but strangely not the right info.

@hablerz you've probably eaten from worse but didn't know it.

The small bottle units and the wall farming is a neat idea. Like everyone else who has commented, I can't see us growing squash and other big veggies in this small of a system. But in a world with depleting top soil, rising populations and ever growing climate concerns you can't deny we need all the solutions we can get. Big and small.

Missing any trace elements? Can an independent lab do comparison tests between soil and hydro growing? I believe there are mechanisms to do so.

Im not sure i like the idea of eating from reused tires and plastics , might be dodgy.

Please.... oh, please, tell me you're going to hook chicco up with one of those flower dog houses.

too bad we dont have a fair like that in windsor!

I'm not sold on these for large vegetables like tomatoes. Sure, you could place it there and it looks really cool at the festival. BUT...will it thrive? At best: salad farming. Which is still cool looking.
