Command Strip Indoor Rain Gutter Garden?

[Xist]

After Mom murdered the plants on the patio and the greenhouse that I build her because I love her so much I brought in 2 of her remaining plants. Some nice flowers died, but her strawberries are still going well, and I thought that I could hang a box behind the kitchen table and was thinking about using a French cleat.

I figured that I could do it eventually despite being especially bad at carpentry.

Then I remembered gutters--and command strips!

I keep wondering if she would have been more likely to work on a waist-high gutter garden.

What would be the easiest way to water something on the other side of a kitchen table?

I had to look up Command™ strips. How much weight? Where is the closest window?

Strawberries like it cool. It's OK to keep strawberries at 45° F/ 7° C at night. They prefer a temperature around 75° F/ 23° C during the day. A minimum-heat house is good enough. More control over temperature is always better. You can always improve temperature control.

If you are interested in growing strawberries at home, start with vertical container having 4-6 positions per row, with height up to a meter (3 feet). Position such container near the glass door and use 2 (two) fluorescent tubes or equivalent LED grow lights for artificial lightning of the container that are turned away from the door/window.

Growing strawberry plants indoors should be checked daily to ascertain the need for water; usually daily until the growing season and thereafter only when the top inch (2.5 cm.) is dry. Keep in mind, strawberries like water, just not too much.

To grow a strawberry plant indoors simply place your potted plant in a sunny window or conservatory and keep the soil damp. If your plant gets less than 6 hours light top it up with a grow light. Always use an appropriate fertilizer.

I saw some self-watering designs, but the most-common thing I noticed was gutters at an angle, particularly with more angled gutters underneath, forming a zigzag.

They say the standard length is 10', but that wall is 9'3", and sooner or later I will buy a third white cabinet and put it in that corner.

I was thinking that I could use command strips to attach a 2'x4' board to the wall and mount 5' sections of gutters to the right corners, with the top one sloping 6" down, and the bottom one sloping 6" up, with a drain hole in the lowest point in each.

I thought I would put a narrow length of pipe to ensure the water drains from the top section to the bottom one, and attach a removable bottle to the very bottom. With gravel along the bottom hopefully I could just water the top corner and it would spread throughout, but a long watering can would be far less complicated.

Not knowing the architectural implications of the choice, I'd lean toward a hanging canvas wall with pockets.

Unfortunately, reverse-searching that image just led me to... Pinterest.

I never got any closer than DDG. The link is malicious compliance.

I tried the madaboutberries link but it didn't load.

The link worked for me. The grammar is odd, but I clicked on Strawberries, and what stood out to me was the phrase "Strawberry Grow Bags." Unfortunately, that didn't lead me to commercial products like you shared, which looks like an over-the-door shoe organizer.

Normal ones aren't big enough for my size 13 shoes and the one that I special-ordered is just mesh.

The one you shared has 3 pockets and is 5 fenceboards wide. Those look like 5.5" fenceboards with a gap, so each pocket is about 10" wide.

I did a reverse image search again and besides peenterest it showed a few links allegedly containing the image. I haven't found it yet, but it looks like what the cool kids call "A green wall."

That one is 3x4. I haven't found one like it yet. At first I found 7-pocket horizontal ones like this and 6-pocket vertical ones like this, along with a great many round ones.

I am not nailing those to Mom's walls!

The horizontal ones are one meter wide, so the pocketses seem too small for preciouses. The vertical ones are 1.1m tall and 300cm wide, so maybe they are a good width, but the picture you shared was one unit.

The only one that seemed to be the right size only had 4 stars and many people complained about it falling apart.

Curiously, the black one is $12, and the green one is $10, but there doesn't seem to be any other difference.

I looked through everything on every legitimate-sounding site I could find and found this. It looks vastly better than the others, but is it 13 times better because they are charging $169!



It has 4.3 stars on Amazon

Curiously, that page also suggests this

It is a little bigger than the other and looks better. It is also rated 4.3 stars:


It has a plastic backing and a little catch flap for drips, but is it three times as good as the cheap ones?

....it looks like what the cool kids call "A green wall."

Expand your thinking it was just an example. It could have as easily been duckduckgo.com/?q=pottery+strawberry+pot&ia=images

What's behind the table? A flat wall? A corner? A window? (don't diclose anything tactical) Lighting?

You could 3D print a snap-together modular system with built in hydroponic tubing.

Things I Also Wouldn't Nail to the Wall for $100, Mayim!

It is a flat wall. There is a window a couple feet by a couple feet over the sink on the opposite wall and another small window by the door.

Huh.

3D-printing.

I don't know who this guy is, but someone found him and said "I forgot my PIN for my bitcoin wallet. Can you recover my millions?"

I had heard of someone in a similar situation and he mentioned several people with up to hundreds of millions.

I wonder what happened with all of those people:
