Small-Scale Gardening: Woolly Pockets

Because we don't have much outdoor space for a garden, we're always inspired by inventive containers. Anything that's attractive and offers us a way to bring a little green inside our home (or celebrate the small amount of sunny space in front of our apartment) is a good thing in our book. That's probably why we're digging these Woolly Pockets...

Woolly Pockets are soft containers, made in the U.S. from recycled plastic bottles. They're breathable and come in a number of sizes. From super small (the Wee Woolly - $29) to landscape-size (the Woolly Meadow - $247). And they're suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

We know it's a ~~little~~ lot early, but we already know a number of people who will be getting a Woolly Pocket for Christmas this year.

I'm skeptical. You're supposed to water them a dinky amount to keep them from dripping indoors, which is not very good for the plants ... and with distilled water; not very eco unless you harvest rainwater... and there's going to be mold, mildew and moisture collecting between the pocket and the wall if the fabric breathes... I really don't think this is going to work.

Dear god that is so cute - I love their website! I know nothing about gardening, but I know I want one. Or like, 10.
