Fresh herbs and salad greens, picked from a wall you already own. This bag turns a bare fence, balcony rail or door frame into a vertical garden with one pocket per plant. Choose 4 to 72 pockets to match the space you have.
Turn a Bare Wall into a Harvest You Can Reach
No yard, no sunny sill? Before, the wall is wasted space and herbs cost a fortune at the store. After, a row of pockets holds basil, chives and tomatoes right where you walk past every day.
Every pocket is its own small planter
- Each pocket is its own planter
Every pocket holds its own soil, so each plant gets a root zone of its own. If one basil plant struggles, the mint in the next pocket keeps going. You can replant a single pocket without disturbing the rest of the wall.
- Sized for your wall
Pick 4, 9, 18, 49 or 72 pockets. The four-pocket bag fits a narrow railing with room for a few herbs. The 72-pocket version covers a full fence line or courtyard wall. The hanging format stays the same, so the bag grows with the space you have.
- Hang it and plant it today
Hang the bag on a hook or rail mount, fill the pockets with potting mix and set in seedlings. Most of the afternoon goes to planting, and the only hardware you need is a hook.
Hang it, fill it, plant it in an afternoon
- 1Hang the bag
Mount it on a sturdy hook, rail or fence post. Check that the spot gets several hours of direct sun.
- 2Fill the pockets
Fill each pocket with light potting mix. Start with the top row so the weight settles downward.
- 3Plant one herb per pocket
Set a seedling in each pocket and firm the mix around the roots. Keep basil and mint apart so they do not crowd each other.
- 4Water until it runs through
Water slowly until it drains lightly from the bottom pockets, then check the soil again the next morning.
Water it often and give it sun
- Full sun for most of the day
Pick a wall that gets direct light for several hours. Shaded pockets grow leggy herbs.
- Water from the top each morning
Water until it drains lightly from the bottom. Check the soil every day in heat.
- Use light potting mix
Garden soil packs down in small pockets and holds too much water at the roots.

Questions and answers
Yes. The bag hangs from its top loops on a hook, rail or fence post. Test the mount with the bag empty first, then check it again once the pockets are full of wet mix, since a soaked bag gets heavy fast. Mount it into solid wall or a sturdy post, not thin trim.
Nine pockets suit a small balcony or door frame and fit a row of herbs with room for a few salad greens. For a fence or shed wall, go to 18 or 49. The four-pocket bag is a good first test if you have never grown anything in a container.
For a first season, four pockets are enough to matter. They keep one cook supplied with chives and parsley. If you find yourself reaching for herbs every day, add a second bag or move up to 18 pockets. Compared with buying fresh herbs every week, one bag planted once keeps producing for months.
Yes. Fabric exposed to wind and sun loses moisture faster than a ceramic pot, so plan on watering daily in hot weather. Water from the top each morning until it drains from the bottom. Wind speeds up drying, so the wall side that faces the afternoon sun needs the most attention.
Both. Basil, chives, mint and parsley suit the small pockets best. Lettuce, salad greens, strawberries and small cherry tomatoes also grow well in one pocket. Keep large plants like squash or corn off the wall, since they need more root room than a pocket provides.
