Has anyone heard of Woollypockets before? I've been seeing a lot about them around online lately and think they are really interesting and beautiful. They make three different types of planters.
The first is called Wally and is a pouch that is mounted on your wall. I have never really considered gardening "vertically" until seeing these.

The second is called the Meadow (seen below on the floor) and it is basically a box that can be put on any flat surface.
The last is called the Island and they are free standing pouches in a variety of sizes that look a bit more like traditional pots.
Because these are breathable containers, the plants can aerate naturally which eliminates the need to drain out the water ultimately conserving water. Another benefit is that when planted in Woollypockets the plants do what is called "air pruning." Air pruning is what happens when the roots can "sense" air around them and naturally stop their own growth when the plant has reached the limits of its space. Saving water! No more overgrown plants! Sounds great, right? And the Woollypockets are all handmade in the USA out of felt and recycled water bottles. Maybe I'll give one of the little Wally's a try.
