Get Rolling With Mobile Vegetable Garden
May 20, 2010 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
Spotted on Instructables, this mobile garden-on-wheels is a stylish step up from planting in a wheel barrel.
The only available sunlight in the designer’s property was right in front of his garage door. Necessity, being the mother of invention, inspired the design of this rolling potagère.
Consider building with recycled wood, or a beautiful, sustainable wood such as reforested teak. Check to see that the wood is certified by an independent body like the Forest Stewardship Council. Look for the FSC logo or ask your supplier to provide documentation showing from where the lumber was sourced.

Thanks for sharing the idea of mobile vegetable garden. It looks awesome. It was nice going through your blog.

What a great idea, and looks very cool too. I can imagine with limited ground space and limited lighting, this is not only beneficial to the plants, but to homeowners as they don’t have to dedicate one spot in the yard for planting!

La quasi-totalité de ce que vous pointez arrive à être étonnamment précis et qui me fait demander pourquoi je n’avais pas examiné cette question dans cette lumière précédemment. Cette pièce fait vraiment particulier allumer la lumière pour moi autant que ce sujet particulier va.

This is beautiful, but it is difficult to imagine that someone would move this regularly…once filled with sook, it would be quite heavy!
