Default Interesting idea on kickstarter

No affiliation, just thought some might be interested.

Those look great, they would be perfect for my strawberries I bet. Too bad they cost so much, I don't have the money right now, but I did bookmark the site. Thanks for posting it!

That thing is super cool! I especially like the compost feature in the center.

Yeah, the only thing is the price. You have to grow a lot of stuff to get back $250.

Of course, odds are that I'll put that much into my garden this year, but I'll have a lot more than 50 plants.

And more than that, your produce will be worth way more than $250 during a season probably. I bet the production from one of those for a season is no more than $50 market value. m2c. You should check out the rain tower idea that is posted elsewhere on this forum (few days ago?) from one of the members. It is pretty special and only costs probably around $50 to make.

it would be nice for strawberries, but for that price tag I think I would buy myself a couple of barrels, some PVC and a heat gun and make 5 of my own!
