Hanging Gardens of Bicycle-on

Looking around my house I saw three things that had seen better days or were close to being trash:

-Dead bike tubes

-Miscellaneous Coat Hangers (once from dry cleaners?)

-My neighbors flowers and ivy (they’ll be dead soon, its getting cold)

So I thought to create a hanging garden system to save those things.

My bike goes through a lot of tubes.

So I used up my upload quota or i would have shown pictures of this thing flexing and draping on a building envelope…

These tubes get filled with soil, planted with rooted plants, like flowers and vines, maybe even vegetables..

you run coat hanger wire through the tubes and link the tubes together by tying the wire together.

You can attach a water hose and set it on a slow drip and drape these hanging modules around or on your house. They would therefore be modular and self contained. Different diameter tubing can be used to accomodate different root structure needs.

pretty cool…?
