Scheduled for spring 2016.

Have moss source and first bale; also made a 3.5' conical tower from tomato cages. Have several more cages.

Will cover/line with landscape cloth, line with moss/soil, and plant. (Still planning Styrofoam cavity-filling to keep basket lightweight.)

Cones will be anchored in plastic nursery pots on hand, which will be weighted with topsoil and planted with fast climbers. Prob veg. Have enuf cages for one more 3.5' and several shorter ones in case I want a grouping. All these will be easily moved via hand truck. Haven't envisioned winter use yet (solar xmas lites?), but sure there will be plan in due time.

The scale of the cart, as hoped, is equal to the antique iron woodstove I got set up this visit, so it will be fun when those play off each other! I'll prob stick a stake into the cart for climbers to balance the stove's height, with a bunch of flower/veg pots at staggered heights between them.
