It’s vertical, it’s modular, it’s magnetic…hence lustable. 

As if a vertical garden wasn’t sexy enough, take a look at the new modular vertical. I think we can all agree that this is the year horizontal greenery officially became passé.

Of the moment, the Urbio, a collaboration between Beau Oyler, Jared Aller and the Enlisted Design team.

What it is: neutrally white recyclable “eco-plastic” pots (a kind of imitation ceramic) that can be mounted on just about any vertical surface with neodymium magnets. Because of the Urbio’s modularity (plus modernity and adaptability), plant pots can be purchased individually or as part of the larger wall mounting plate pack.

Check out this video, from their original Kickstarter campaign, to see the Urbio in action.

City girl, fear not: urban gardening is easy, simple, and fire-escape-proof.

What’s new in the EcoSalon Community? Me! It’s Mike Lieberman of Urban Organic Gardener and the Eco-Salon Manscaping feature from earlier in the year.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with my work, I show people with little to no land how to start growing their own food so they can avoid toxic pesticides, eat healthier and not feel limited by their lack of experience and space.

That’s what I’m going to be sharing with you in a 2012 series here on EcoSalon. Since I’m a man of the people, I would love to know what questions or topics you would like to see covered? I’ll do my best to get them answered.

Have a great rest of 2011 and look forward to connecting with more of you in 2012!
