One never knows for sure but there may be a brief TV segment of Greenscaper demonstrating to a group of children how to make pop/soda bottle planters. Tune in to Good Morning America on ABC tomorrow (Monday) morning. The location is the Waterpod now berthed on the Hudson River in Harlem and the time is the 8:30 a.m. weather report.
In any case, if you are not familiar with these highly efficient planters simply click on the photo above and you will be whisked away to a set of step-by-step photo instructions. Many thousands of people have discovered the benefits of these sub-irrigated (aka self-watering) planters...and they're free!
You won't find a better way to grow tabletop plants and teach your children or grandchildren about recycling, capillary action and good plant science. For the first time the status of the root system and soil moisture is visible. There is no more clay or opaque plastic pot mystery. If you're hooked on clay pots, try this instead.
If Greenscaper was on GMA this morning, can you post a Youtube follow up, if possible? For those of us who, sadly, had to be at work? :)

Hi Ben, I should have a video to post in a week or so. I don't have a clue of what I said but Sam was the man, that's for sure!
Hey Karen, for me the magic words were "Inside Urban Green (.org) ;-) Did they crawl the URL too?
