Bottle Tower
Stacked 2 L bottles with side cut-outs for plants; a central wick keeps moisture more even.

- Water: top bottle slowly; catch tray at base.
Space-Saving Setups
Three compact builds that turn tiny spots into productive mini-gardens.
Hanging Rail Pockets
Clip a short rail on a wall or window frame; hang fabric pockets or small pots.
- Best for: basil (bright), coriander (cooler), chives.
- Tip: put a tray under the lowest pocket for drips.
Stacked Crates (Deep Root)
Two shallow crates stacked with liner make a deep, free-draining planter for roots.
- Best for: compact carrots, radishes, dwarf beans.
- Line with hessian or landscape fabric; add a few bricks below to weight.
