The grow pots are 5.5" in diameter - so they're small.  The planters will drain through the felt so it will need to be placed somewhere where it can drain when you water it.  You may place these on a deck, on a patio table, on the ground, etc.  You can move them around throughout the year to optimize the sunlight. Even better - the Planted Wall Growing System is a free-standing, mobile wall. It holds up to 36 pots (same pots that we grow in during the Boot Camp!) an occupies only 2 x 2 feet. The water drains through pots that hang on the wall and recirculate through the system using a self-irrigating system designed to work seamlessly with the Planted Wall.
