The EzGro Hydroponics System
Hydroponics is an unusual form of gardening that uses nutrient enriched water to grow plants instead of soil. This particular hydroponics system is unique in that it uses more vertical than horizontal space. This makes it a perfect growing tool for urban gardeners, as it allows you to grow you plants in a small nook of your house or apartment. Additionally, it doesn’t require electricity like many hydroponics systems. The EzGro Hydroponics System allows you to grow up to 20 plants, and works with anything from herbs, to tomatoes, to houseplants. Moreover, as your growing medium is water, you don’t have to worry about over or under-watering your plants. This is a great help, as many urban gardeners have less time than traditional gardeners to take care of their plants.

Vertical Grow Bags
Grow bags are another way that you can take advantage of the limited space in your home or apartment. Grow bags aren’t necessarily a new idea, as people throughout the world use inexpensive plastic bags filled with soil to grow crops. However, the creative design of this grow bag allows you to hang it vertically. As with the Topsy Turvy growing system, a vertical grow bag is perfect for making use of your upright space. The designers of this system created enough space to grow 12 bedding plants using standard potting soil. This is because the grow bag allows you to grow plants on every side of the bag. To use the vertical grow bag, you just need to provide that whatever you hang it on can sustain up to 40 pounds of weight.

The Topsy Turvy Planter
Since the creation of the Topsy Turvy upside-down garden planter, urban gardeners have been celebrating and utilizing this unique device to grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in very unusual places. For example, the vertical design of this planter allows you to grow crops on balconies, fire escapes, or even under a tree. Thanks to its distinctive design, the Topsy Turvy planter actually won Time Magazine’s “Invention of the Year” award in 2005. While the obvious advantage of an upside-down garden planter is that you can garden in a small corner of your home or patio, there are several other benefits. Gardening in this way means that don’t have to worry about weeding or digging out a garden plot. Moreover, as your plants never touch the ground, they are also less susceptible to pests, rodents, and diseases such as fungus rot. While many gardeners comment that they use this gadget to grow tomatoes, you can also use it to grow such common crops are cucumbers, herbs, bell peppers, and even flowers. Urban gardeners have also mentioned that their vegetables grow larger and more robust when using a vertical planter.
