Live it Up (Or Out, Or In) with Woolly Pocket Living Wall Planters

Ah, Spring! There’s a fresh breeze on the air, the sun is shining, and it’s time to polish off the ole green thumb and start planting herbs and vegetables for those upcoming summer parties.

Nothing’s gonna be sweeter than the mingling scents of hard work and hot food when you drop some of your very own homegrown veggies on the grill this summer, but not many people want to spend their whole spring tending to a large garden. Even if you daydream of spending your days nurturing a traditional garden, living in a city or small home may mean you just don’t have the space.

Woolly Pocket has considered all of this – and more – in the design of their newest Living Wall Planters. These little plastic wonders are incredibly easy to maintain, house a huge variety of plants, can be used indoors or outdoors and, with a well-planned layout, make one heck of a hanging garden backdrop for practically any space.

Plant Your Heart Out

Woolly Pocket Living Wall Planter

You may be wondering what all can be planted in the Living Wall Planter. Well, are you a man that likes freedom? Because you can plant pretty much anything you want in these beauties. If you’re getting geared up for a summer full of fire-grilled pizzas, why not plant a pizza garden with some of your favorite toppings like onions, tomatoes, and peppers? Spruce up your home office by dropping in a few tropical house plants and creating a living gallery wall. Due to an incredibly compact and well-rounded design, practically any plant can thrive in the LWP, from cooking and recreational herbs to vegetables and houseplants. The front and back of the planter is equipped with small ventilation holes that allow your plant’s roots to breathe as it grows, while an integrated water well in the back keeps plants satiated without over-saturating them.

Keep Your Hands (and Footprint) Clean

Sometimes, even the most environmentally-conscious people suffer from brown thumb, or simply don’t have the time to take on the maintenance that often comes along with traditional planters or gardens. Luckily, Woolly Pocket has designed the LWP with an eye toward versatility and easy maintenance, which means you can create a functional, eye-catching garden regardless of your planting experience. The built-in water well holds a liter of water, which means you can go up to two weeks without watering. At the same time, the Living Wall Planter’s ventilation system allows water to absorb and evaporate effectively, which means you no longer need to worry about discovering a nasty leak under your planter. You don’t need to worry about your edibles or stain your carbon conscience either: the LWP is made from 100% post-consumer recycled milk jugs containing no BPA, making it one of the safest plastics for food products.

Make a Statement

If you spend any time out in the world, online, or anywhere that’s not under a rock, you’ve probably noticed the increasing popularity of living walls. As is the case with a lot of projects, an amazing inspiration photo is nice to look at, but creating your own photo-spread-worthy hanging garden can be a little intimidating when you get down to the nuts-and-bolts of making it work. This year, you don’t need to spend another spring in the weeds trying to rig up a complicated irrigation system or searching for the perfect container for each plant. The LWP comes with a hanging kit that lets you install it nearly anywhere with just a screwdriver and few spare minutes, and if you want to go big, Woolly Pocket also offers drip kits that let you create a fast and easy automatic irrigation system to connect multiple Living Wall Planters into a full display. The modern design of the planters makes a pleasing statement while still letting your plants do most of the showing off, a comfortable, rounded shape makes it easy to carry kitchen herbs outside for a backyard barbecue, and a flattened bottom means that the planters can be used just as easily on a table or counter-top.

Spring is the season to go green or go home, and Woolly Pocket’s thoughtful design makes their Livable Wall Planter a stylish, nearly maintenance-free solution to all your gardening woes. Impress and entertain with counter-top herbs, easy fresh edibles, and living walls that will have your summer guests asking who your landscape artist is.

The 12 best Connecticut cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024
Best Connecticut cigars up close and personal

Connecticut cigars are the clear winner for smoking on a hot summer day, in the morning with some coffee, or when you just don't want a swift kick in the teeth (of pepper). There's no shortage of options, either. Connecticut shade wrappers are one of the most prevalent in the world of cigars, and it's certainly the most common natural shade. Maduro is also popular, but the two wrapper types couldn't be any more different. Connecticut wrappers, and by proxy Connecticut cigars, are typically mild to medium in strength and brimming with creamy, smooth flavors. They're composed of tobacco leaves grown in the Connecticut River Valley in the United States -- which is where the name Connecticut comes from. Consistent and flavorful, some of the best beginner-friendly cigars are Connecticut-wrapped, but you should never sell them short. A Connecticut shade cigar can be just as refined, elegant, and premium as any other. If you know where to look, you may even find some of your favorite blends in the category across a wide range of brands and cigar makers.

I'm about to take you on a magical, doughy, and delicious trek through the broad range of Connecticut cigars. In short, here are the best Connecticut cigars tried and tested by a genuine enthusiast of the craft: yours truly.
The best Connecticut cigars I've tried and tested
While the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is considered a Connecticut shade, I did my best to steer clear of recommending them for this list. They're better classified as a Maduro shade or darker cigar. That doesn't mean you should avoid them, quite the contrary. But for this list, I wanted to stick to smooth, relaxing smokes that are strong on flavor but not quite so strong on pepper and spice. I also tried not to choose a lot of repeats. If you see your favorite cigar missing, that might be because it was recommended on another list or it just didn't make the cut. If you have any recommendations of your own, I'm always available through social media or email. Without further ado, let's get this thing started.

The era of password sharing is slowly but surely coming to an end. Netflix has already begun cracking down on people sharing passwords across households, and now, other streaming services are following suit. Before 2024 is over, Disney Plus password sharing will be a thing of the past.

Disney's streaming services are now preparing to crack down on those who are sharing passwords, and the consequences for doing so could be severe. Users across Hulu, Disney Plus, and ESPN Plus will be warned about password sharing, and if they don't Disney CEO Bob Iger even laid out a timeline for when the crackdown will start, although he didn't get into too many specifics.
