I’ve come across this idea a few times and I’m definitely inspired to try it. From what I’ve read, it’s actually not that difficult and really on requires some pliers and an old lightbulb, which almost sounds too easy! The little stand is an awesome addition too.

It’s great to see people embracing the idea of re-purposing household items. It’s unbelievable what you can do with items around the home that you might have otherwise thrown away. Glass beverage bottles also make a perfect planter for a kitchen herb garden, and old washer drums can be perfect for growing outdoors.

Thanks for sharing, if I don’t find the ambition to try and make this on my own I’ll be sure to try and track the designer down.

I don’t think these are for sale–it’s just a concept now. The designer’s site doesn’t sell them. I will email them to see if they are going to produce them for sale. Check back!

Please advise where one can acquire the Potus Pot mentioned in the Urban Gardens Website on June 12, 2010. It was not clear from the links provided whether one could purchase this item, or whether this was something that is “homemade”. Thank you very much.
