Ever tried growing plants in containers - on the side of a hill?

Neither have I.

But, I'm guessing there are a heap of gardeners who have to deal with this challenge in their garden. Natalie Sharp was one of them - not any more, though.

Owner of Sharp Garden Designs, Natalie Sharp invented Pot on a Hill, a spiked stand that creates a ledge for any container to rest on. The stand is plunged into the side of the hill and forms a platform strong enough to hold the heaviest containers.

The design is not earth shattering and most people who see it can't believe they didn't think of the idea but is probably one of the most innovative gardening products to enter the market in recent times.

The Pot on a Hill garden stand is only available locally at the moment but can also be ordered online from Sharp's website.
