This looks pretty cool if you want to spend the money, but for me, it's all about money.
I have to agree with Archer on this. If someone is growing only one or two plants your idea might be saleable to that particular customer. Last year I had 50 plants in cages. With the finished product costing around $30 that would be $1500 to use your system. I can buy a lot of rolls of wire for that amount of money.
