Every year I like to grow a variety of plants. Mostly herbs and peppers. But space in sunny areas is limited for me and anything growing in a pot I have a tendency to accidentally overwater during the summer months. Inspired by my internet searches on vertical planting to utilize space, I decided on creating my own "Aqueduct Planter" system. With an aqueduct planter system, planters can be hung vertically along a wall and modularly added on to as needed. Water is shared through the system, flowing from the top planters into the bottom, saturating the soil of each plant along the way.
Check out the Printing Details section on print settings used to make the aqueduct planter setup. A minimum build volume of 8" x 8" x 7" printer is needed to print these planters.
