Abstract

The GnomeTainer provides an inexpensive and self sustaining way for U.S. families to grow a small plot of produce in an urban environment. The garden system encloses soil with connected plastic storage containers and provides a greenhouse environment supported by a PVC frame. A water catchment system is supported by the frame to store rainwater which can be used to water the plants at a later time. The GnomeTainer provides a low maintenance and educational method of growing your own produce.
