At some stage I followed a link to a website that had these on - thought it came from this site but could be wrong - I'm sure where ever I saw it the person who highlighted it said that hanging baskets work as well.

Seem to think the site was american but could be completely wrong.

Sorry can't be more specific but it might trigger someone elses memory.

it came up as a space saving idea it was used first in commercial dutch houses its not a new idea they used soil baskets that pulled up on ropes in hot houses so they could get a ground crop and a roof crop .the plants will autonmaticaly lean over the edge if no support is given
