vegetable chips



The problem with growing root vegetables vertically is the harvesting of them afterwards. The root vegetables grow thick and outgrow the spacing in the mesh that convesional vertical plots have. this means that when you pull out a carrot it will tear off the flesh that has outgrown the mesh. this designs mesh is elasticated and only fastned on one axis so it can be moved slightly to help get that veg out safe.

Idea for perspective




The design of this planter is to offer an easy veiw of the growing vegetables. It puts the plant "on show" for the child and makes understanding them easier.

point of veiw






Went round my flat for about an hour on my knees and took a few photos of what I saw, a childs point of veiw is very different as our world is designed for adults. Children are almost always looking upwards so I will take this into consideration in my designs.
