Vert-A-Grow

The Vert-A-Grow is a novel type of planter for growing vine type plants such as pole beans, peas, tomatoes cucumbers, etc. The planter base consists of a growing cavity for holding soil and having a self-watering system. Any excess water such as rain water will drain through the over flow holes preventing the planter from saturating the soil. A support pole is centrally supported by the planter base with a pole cap attached to the top end. Vine type plants are supported by a series of strings which are woven between the planter base and the pole cap. Easy assembly in less than five minutes (no tools necessary). Time required to produce healthy plants is a minimum time of two months. Most vine type plants will attach to the strings as they climb. Ideal for backyards, decks, and balconies. The product enables compact packaging and allows for easy off-season storage.
