Roof top garden with Root Pouches planted at the Washington Nationals baseball stadium. The herbs and vegetables grown in the garden are used by the vendors of the stadium.
Growers/Gardeners often choose to grow in containers when space for a traditional soil garden is limited or has undesirable traits like little sun or poor soil. Containers also offer an alternative food source for the health and environmentally conscious urbanite with access to a sunny balcony or apartment rooftop. Either way when space is limited and your garden needs to be ‘contained’ it is important to remember that just because space is limited doesn’t mean that your growing options have to be. Root Pouch fabric containers are perfect for the urban/ home grower.

“Made entirely from recycled water bottles and natural materials, these soft, malleable pots and vertical planters from Hillsboro company Root Pouch offer an alternative to the traditional hard plastic. The eco company snagged a big award in Spain last fall, taking home the Iberfloral Innovation Technology Award for most advanced green item in the already-green horticulture category.” Photo by Michael Novak
