Gardening, Recycling and Nudity, Oh My
June 10, 2009
So, we’ve heard of gardening nude… a couple was recently in the news for doing and there’s even a World Naked Gardening Day (link NSFW)… but we’ve never seen it used as a marketing tool. Until now.
Woolly Pockets creates these awesome soft-sided gardening containers made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, allowing you to create beautiful vertical gardens even with minimal gardening skills. And the photos just happen to have naked people in them.
From Woolly Pockets, via Treehugger:
Woolly Pockets are flexible, breathable, and modular gardening containers. They`come in two styles: those designed to be placed on horizontal surfaces, and those designed to be hung on walls for vertical gardening. You can use Woolly Pockets both indoors and out; they have built-in moisture barriers to help protect furniture, and they’re equally at home outside in the elements. They’re perfect for creating urban gardens where you have space to garden but no land to garden in. Woolly Pockets are lightweight and can be folded flat, which makes them very easy to use, move, and store just about anywhere.
Woolly Pockets have two main components: the breathable felt and the built-in moisture barrier. The breathable portion is made of 100% recycled plastic bottles that have been industrially felted. The moisture barrier is made according to military standards for impermeability from 60% recycled plastic bottles. We stitch each pocket together by hand with a double lock stitch and strong, UV-resistant nylon thread.
This is a pretty awesome way to cover an ugly wall or fence, provide more privacy, and get a good yield of herbs or vegetables out of a small outdoor space.
We’ll refrain from making a joke about woolly pockets and naked people. Just enjoy the strange but totally awesome photos.
