I, ...Hi...what a fun assortment of gardening ideas. I, too, am fascinated by the kiddy pool gardens. Is the perlite the only drainage space provided or do the pools also have drainage holes? I'm working on a post for kids gardens and think the kiddy pools would tickle their fancy! Also loved the hydroponic system. The only set-ups I've seen in past and have been huge things.

I had a flight of Oregon wines: the best I tasted on the entire trip! <br />btw, your Sylvan mystery has me intrigued......<br /><br />Helen, <br />Aren't the pools a good idea!

The whole set-up was impressive, taking advantage of a wide variety of methods to grow produce on a roof top!<br /><br />Esther, <br />Will you be my guide to Dorset's Portland? Sadly, I visited Dorset once but mainly to pass through on my way elsewhere.

I go there often and it doesn't look anything like your photos - all cliffs and sea and quarries.<br /><br />Fascinating examples of shallow gardening. I wouldn't have expected it to be possible. Gives one hope!<br /><br />Roof-top gardens seem to be the theme of the week.

That hydroponic tube is bloomin' perfect too. I saw your comment on Steve S.'s blog and await the Chinese Garden portion of your trip. His post was amazing. <br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
