The basic design are buckets that can be suspended by any rope over each other with holes in the bottom to allow excess water in each bucket to spill through and water the next plant below. This design will allow people in contries with limited space and water to still be able to have a small garden to help provide food for their family. This garden also allows for the growth of flowers and other plants to decorate any house.\n\n== Bill of Materials ==\n\n{| class=\"wikitable\"\n! Part\n! Price\n!

Be sure to be conscious of the type of plant going in each bucket and plan spacing accordingly\n\n== Cost savings ==\n\n* Cost of the print: less than $2 per bucket\n* Cost of rope: Less than $10 per roll\n* There is no commercial equivalent with the water saving technology as of December 2019\n\n== Benefited Internet Communities ==\n\n* OSAT: [https://www.appropedia.org/Open_Source_Appropriate_Technology]\n* YouMagine [https://www.youmagine.com/]\n* Thingiverse [https://www.thingiverse.com/]\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = 3D printing, gardening, vertical garden, water saver, plastic, OSAT 3D-Printable Designs\n| sdg = SDG06 Clean water and sanitation, SDG12 Responsible consumption and production\n| published = 2019\n| organizations = Michigan_Tech's_Open_Sustainability_Technology_Lab, MY4777, MTU\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:3D printing]]\n[[Category:Gardening]]\n[[Category:Plastic]]\n[[Category:OSAT 3D-Printable Designs]]"}
