tiny kitchen gardens and small scale food production in planters are gaining increasing popularity, which spurs on a variety of inventions in and around planting tools and methods.
I have patented my own planting system (a huge improvement in keeping plants healthy and alive!) and designed an entire plant pot series for in- and outdoor use around it.
my conviction and resolve to only consider producing on demand, in a fully sustainable manner and with natural and recyclable materials has not allowed me to find a manufacturer so far.
I found quiet a few potential buyers/customer (commercial nurseries in Europe and the USA) and lots of clients and friends supporting the idea… but attempting a similar approach like Ritta and friends might really be a good idea!
