Nalini ji: very nice.... love it... I have grown lettuce and some herbs for daily use in hanging bags esp in colder climes, where they can be started off in winter and hung outside on the balcony in spring and summer..., and have tried strawberries, .... in Kolkata this winter I'm going to do your method... this way I dont even need sooo many hooks on the wall.... this would be a nice way to get the length /depth needed for carrots and radishes ..long roots would be nice....
