Interesting concept. I am thinking that one of those plastic shelves from walmart that costs about 15.00 bucks about three or four shelves holding about 3 or 4 10 inch pots works better for me.

A few bags of potting soil, or mel’s mix and I’m growing lots of edibles in front of my patio door. See those little pots arranged like that look cute, but I’m not seeing much production in the bottom ones, which would have to be some sort of vining plants I would think.

I think we need to search on for more on hydroponics.

You would be using potting soil - these pots have no dirt as they get their nutrients from fertilizer in the water. The medium in the pots is packed coconut fiber that holds the water/nutrients and holds the plants in place. There are special instructions for locating tomatoes. There is a pdr file about putting this thing together with instructions how to place the plants based on what they are.

The two ground pots are larger pots for larger veggies.

I'll look around that site more.
