So, you think you don't have room for a vegetable garden. If you have an outdoor wall that gets about 8 hours of sun you might! This is a pocket garden that hangs on a wall. I believe that it really is a shoe holder that has been converted. You would need to punch holes in the bottoms of each pocket, on the front side, before you fill them with soiless mix. Once they are planted you can just water the top pockets and they will drip down to the next pockets, and then down to the next pockets--just make sure water reaches the bottom pockets! These will need to be fertilized regularly (every 3-4 weeks). There are miniature versions of most vegetables, although some full size veggies will work well--such as leaf lettuce, spinach, radishes, turnips, and such. If you try this, make sure that the shoe holder is very light in color--you don't want to cook the vegetables before they can produce!
