Lettuce Tree – Using Vertical Space for Balconies and Small Spaces
Building, Food Plants - Annual, Land, Plant Systems, Urban Projects — by Martin Korndoerfer October 1, 2012
I am trying to get the most out of my balcony space. Obviously, the vertical direction is the way to go…

Inspired by other bloggers, I wanted to try my luck with the much acclaimed lettuce tree. Reported challenges have been to keep the soil in the upper part from drying out.
Alright, off I go to the hardware store. This time, spending 3.50 Euro for the polypropylene pipe (15 cm diameter). It didn’t hurt me or my wallet. The bottom is an old, broken rubber gymnastic ball — which was free.
