This is Stupid


I'm sorry Smith and Hawken but this is really ridiculous. I know you think you are being all "earthy" and eco and shit but you are just short sited. Here let me list some of your selling points:

Get your garden growing—vertically. This ingenious living wall is great for growing a garden in small spaces—indoors or out. Plant one or display in multiples to create a living, oxygenating work of art (give me a break) in your entryway, kitchen, or balcony...anywhere that receives direct sunlight.

  • All the trend in Europe, plant yours to create a living, oxygenating work of art (there is that stupid phrase again)
  • Includes 2 planting panels—each panel accommodates 22 quarts of soil—so there are 90 total planting "cells"
  • Plant with fresh foliage, colorful flowers, or grow aromatic herbs in your kitchen
  • For use indoors and outdoors; built in water-catchment tray allows kit to be used indoors (and keeps your floors dry, too!)
  • Innovative, easy to plant and eco-friendly- bleh, bleh, bleh....
OK, I have had enough- the only reason to mount plants sideways to your kitchen wall is because you want to

a. invite your dog to pee on your wall
b. you want to create a room completely out of cat nip to entertain the cat
c. you want to water you wall everyday and see if gravity or mold comes into play at anytime
d. you are unable to open a fucking window or door to oxygenate your room
e. you needed the ants that walk on your window sill to find a place to colonize
f. you can't manage to go to Lowes and buy a terracotta pot for 2 dollars and plant some herbs in it outside

The worst thing about this is that it is sold out!!!
