Sack garden installation in Kenya
Install sack gardens with safe placement and drainage.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Total 160 litres and twelve plants. Actual sack dimensions, fill method, stability and drainage require competent approval; no heavy sack is put on an unverified balcony, roof or suspended floor.
