32GroPocketsGroPockets helps you take urban gardening to the next level with vertical gardens! You can achieve productivity, flavor and convenience with a vertical garden‬ on your fence, porch -- or perhaps even indoors. It's easier than you think since it can be added to standard PVC plumbing parts, and can be combined with ‪hydroponics‬ and ‪‎aquaponics‬ for even better results. GroPockets designed its products right here in Houston using 3D design, printing and prototyping methods. We even built our own CNC machine to help us finish the prototyping process! Our next phase will be to use robotics to automatically plant and harvest crops.http://www.gropockets.com/Urban Gardening, Inventors, EngineeringGroPocketshttps://www.facebook.com/gropockets
