@OS253 LOL I think bugs are fantastic!!! …just not crawling on me LOL idk if they bite or not…I don’t want to find out! hahaha
Pretty cool
wow john ! keep up the good work. I agree you need a show.
Looking forward to you testing it out.
I bet I could make one of those things pretty cheap. His invention is actually not very original, I’ve seen stuff like that before. During the Winter I would have to grow the plants in my basement and use grow lights because in northern Iowa it drops well below zero and gets a pretty hefty covering of snow.
I like the phytopod! that’s great ~Amanda
cool insect. i love those kinda shows!
wow… for someone old who wants a garden. i think it is a bit spendy. for most of those older people who can’t get around they likely don’t have too much money to spend on something like this either. for that much money i could have a full size raised bed all i got to do now is move it when i move.. hahahaha
When I read the comments about it being expensive I thought, well, I would expect it to cost up to $120 for the small one – I wonder what they’re charging? So I went to the website and they’re charging only $65 for the small one!! When you factor in U.S. workers (not slave labor), manufacturing space and cost of materials – I’m pretty sure they’re not making a high profit.
@jinithompson sure you can spend 65 dollars on a small one, or you can probably spend like 20 max if you buy some tarp to replace the burlap, and some chicken wire as the cage. Get your own soil, bam you got a vertical grower…..i think im gonna try to grow some weed with this next year
@BubbleBeet This is what i was going to say, DAMN YOU LOL
John, how did this work for you? I am seriously considering purchasing one of these!! What other videos did you make with this growing system?
It never worked for me. The manufacturer said they would send me a sample unit to use, and to this date, I still havent recieved it. That being said, they did give me one at my expo I held last July, but then I forgot it, and they took it back. They did attempt to ship me one, but sent it to the incorrect address. I hope to have a video on it soon.. for this summer season..
Thanks for your quick response, John. I know you are busy! I will wait on the purchase of this until you use it and let us know how it works for you! I trust your GREEN THUMB!!!
@growingyourgreens So how is that it Never worked , if you never received it, They tried to send it to you , you forgot it, WTF is that
great idea. roll your own. this aint einstein. it’s just a f’in great idear. i need to see one to make sure I copy it right …
This product is totally amazing. I felt really guilty throwing away my deteriated “topsy turvey tomato grower.” This is 100 times better! This coupled with a counter top EasyGreen indoor sprouter could really produce a family a lot of really healthy foods at super low cost. I know this product is going to be an absolute hit!
Great looking product – thank you for sharing!

You could make one of these using burlap and some fencing, then use some pvc for your frame and watering system wouldn’t be hard at all
Great idea. Could make one for about $5-10. Thanks.
Why go through the trouble of finding all the parts and assembling something that does not work well when you can buy all the parts for a tested design ready to assemble?
The phytopod is a cool idea but cheaper would be a burlap sack inside one of johns tomatoe cages.
Yess. I am making one.
@jaysunzz Yeah, he lost me too.
trippy little bug.
