1. A structure to grow plants, the structure comprising:
a fence; a fabric attached to the fence to form a fence-fabric combination, wherein the fence-fabric combination is in the shape of a vertical pillar with an enclosed area; a support post which extends the length of the vertical pillar at the center thereof; a growing material filled in the enclosed area; an irrigation system comprising a plurality of water tubes attached to the support post, wherein each of the plurality of water tubes is connected to a funnel at the top of the vertical pillar above the growing material, wherein each of the plurality of water tubes extend downward into the growing material along the support post to a desired depth near a middle of the vertical pillar, wherein each of the plurality of water tubes is attached to a porous soaker tube which extends radially outward from the center of the vertical pillar at the desired depth, wherein each of the porous soaker tubes is capped with a cap; and a water capture system comprising a filler material different from the growing material, wherein the filler material is disposed at the bottom of the vertical pillar under the growing material to form a downward angle toward an outlet, and wherein the growing material is separated from the filler material by a water repellant sheet such that excess water that seeps through the growing material is diverted along the water repellant sheet toward the outlet and out of the bottom of the pillar via the outlet.
