Sky Planter

The SKY PLANTER allows you for the first time to grow plants upside down inside your home or office.

Using a ground breaking internal reservoir system to feed water directly to the roots, means no water evaporates or drips. We also lock in the soil so there’s no mess.

With a SKY PLANTER you only water your plants once a month, leaving you time to relax on the beach knowing they’ll be thriving when you return. It’s also a great way to conserve water.

The SKY PLANTER is suspended from your ceiling, so it takes up zero floor space, making it a practical solution for smaller apartments, where space is limited.

I mean, the good spots had already started going to the handicapped; it was only a matter of time before the dead horned in on the action, too.

And you know what? I was right. In fact, I found even more than I expected …

Nice Translator

It translates as you types with over 30 languages to choose from.  I tested this on my bilingual sister by cut and pasting the translation below in an email with nothing else written, hoping she would be impressed and touched by this random act.

And her reply,

“Just a note to let you know that you love me very much”…. yes, I do love you very much..thank you for reminding me lol… i haven’t forgotten.
