Roto-Garden Makes Gardening Accessible

Roto-Garden Makes Gardening Accessible FARM HOME Food Bob Irwin designed his Roto-Garden™ for folks physically limited in what they can do He’s building units for sale but hopes to connect with a fabricator to get more on the market People who can’t bend over or who are in wheelchairs can access 10 growing trays by hand using Irwin’s chain-drive design At 6 ft tall and 30 in wide Roto-Garden™ has 120 sq ft of growing space and is designed to be set up inside next to a window on a balcony or on a rooftop Irwin got the idea when he realized not having anything meaningful to do was the biggest reason for depression among people with disabilities With customers’ safety in mind the 180-lb units are made of quality steel durable plastic and heavy-duty casters with locking brakes and locking trays Currently they must be shipped assembled which greatly adds to the cost “This Roto-Garden idea provides a healthy project for both the heart and mind ” Irwin says “I’m more interested in helping people than making a lot of money ” Units sell for $300 Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Bob Irwin P O Box 12 Lafayette N Y 13084 ph 315 677-9274; irwin robert209@gmail com; www rotogarden com
