New Root Cover Design by Students at Terrefarm

Marielle says of this spiraling root cover design she and her Terrefarm classmates implemented in their windowfarm at Terreform One in Brooklyn: “we ended up using strips of canvas wrapped and twisted around the bottles to create the root coverings so each row of plants requires only one continuous strip.
“
Or – would recycling sections of women’s or children’s opaque tights work? You’d have to slip them onto each bottle, but it would be a nice way to use even more recycled materials.
what did you guys use as a frame? I’ve been looking at the pictures trying to figure out what it is but can’t. Looks like a coat hanger type material but where did you find those long straight up-and-down pieces? And how did you attach the cross pieces?
