School house in Germany planting potatoes

We love when our customers share photos. These are from a customer in Germany that is growing potatoes for the schools in our grey Root Pouches.

Garden Corner in Oregon has Worlds Largest Hanging Basket?

  It weighs in at a whopping 2 tons and contains nothing but Oregon nursery products. The flowers, the moss cloth, even the basket and support structure — all are made in Oregon. The Garden Corner retail nursery (21550 S.W.108th Ave., Tualatin, Ore.) will unveiled the world’s largest hanging flower basket at 10 a.m. on Friday morning (March 23). And at 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide, it will be quite a sight.  (image from The Garden Corner blog, text from Digger Magazine.)

Root Pouch Handles are Handy

Most of the Root Pouch product line comes with the option of  handles.

The handles are designed to withstand the weight when they are lifted upwards and the force is put on both handles at the same time.

Made From Recycled Plastic Water Bottles

To produce 100 pounds of Root Pouch fabric it takes 1,000 water bottles OUT of the landfills.  All of our fabric is made of recycled plastic water bottles.

Fabric Pots Prevent Wind Blow Over

Check out these 35 gallon plant pots in grey with handles. They really do hold up in the wind.

Tualatin Elementary School

Root Pouch was excited to work with the Tualatin Elementary Sustainable Garden  to include a vertical garden on the back of their storage shed at their school. We worked with Paul Taylor, the garden designer, to create the wall. The after school programs do the planting and maintenance of the vegetable garden.  Contact us if you would like your school to have a vertical garden!

Aquaponics and Earth

Aquaponics and Earth We met John Musser and his wife Teresa a few years ago at a trade show in Texas and instantly fell in love with what they were doing and wanted to be involved. They have worked extensively with extreme poverty among thousands of small villages and orphanages since 1979. John Musser says, “our system can produce up to forty jobs in the third world and many here in the United States. Orphans can have hands on experience developing skills that will last a lifetime and give these children the joy and privilege of using their imagination to dream about what they want to do in the future.” We donated our pouches and they have used our fabric planting containers and vertical planters in their travels to small villages to help grow tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits. John has emailed us the photos below over the last few years, and we thought it would be exciting to share with you all.
