Vertical Gardens Permaculture Courses by Frank Gapinski Making use of vertical wall space located in a sunny spot is a great way to grow your garden. In fact you don’t need pumps or complicated equipment to start growing your own vegetable garden. As long as you have a consistent amount of sunshine of around 6 hours per day and a collection of plastic drink containers and some ingenuity you can create a mini vegetable garden and have it self-water the system. Consider this novel approach to harnessing gravity to feed your garden. Easy Vertical Bottle Garden All you need is a small amount of vertical space around a balcony or an open window which can hang or store a vertical array of drink bottles that can grow all your herbs and lettuce easily. Drill a hole through each screw-on bottle top lid so that water can drip from one bottle down to the next. Cut the base of the second bottle so the neck of the first bottle can funnel into the second bottle.

Louis Paillard Five reasons for vertical gardening Plants have certain requirements of their own such as sunlight, nutrients and support. So, while planting pots and plants, all this have to be taken care of. Vertical gardening is a kind of trend that first started up in large cities where yard space is very little. The idea behind vertical gardening is that one doesn’t need to have large spaces to produce exclusive gardens or good harvest. One can also plant these plants along a vertical plane which would also act like a fence. 1. The factors involved in vertical gardening is that it uses limited space and grow more. 2. Like, if you don’t have your own pets, it may happen that neighborhood pets destroy your vertical garden as for them it’s just a litter. 3. Normally, the plants diseases are spread when they are in direct contact with the soil which is not so in case of vertical gardening or in case of hanging planters. 4. 5.

DIY Greenwalls Venelin.Petkov said... "Can you post a list of the plants you used and what nutrients are you using (I imagine you are not using pure water, since there are no minerals in the felt substrate). Thanks" Llazar said... "It would be great if could list the plants you used. People have asked me a few times now what plants I used and how I care for them. Each wall builder will need to decide how much light, water, and nutrients they want to provide. Light I have pretty good light in the room but I decided to add some supplemental light from compact fluorescent bulbs. Water I water my wall 4x a day for 10 minutes a day (by drip tube on a timer). Nutrients I added fertilizer to my wall once in the time I have had it (just because a friend gave me some to try). Work with your local plant dealer to determine the plants that are right for your wall. Here's a partial list of plants I have on my wall listed in order of quantity. Philodendron (35%) Pothos (35%) Fern (15%) Nephthytis (10%) Ivy (5%)

DIY shoe rack hanging garden Dueling Vegetable Beds: Experimenting with Ollas — Closer to the Dirt May 28th, 2009 The area of Central Texas where I live is under severe drought restrictions. Our well draws water from an underground lake called the Edwards Aquifer which requires rain to fall in a specific recharge zone for it to refill. Because of the dry conditions over the last few years, the aquifer is drastically low. To help ensure there is enough water to go around, our water conservation district is limiting ground water users to 3,000 gallons per person each month along with other restrictions such as watering plants by hand only. To help lower our water usage, I’ve started experimenting in the garden with ollas. Ollas (pronounced oh-yahs) are one of the oldest and most water efficient irrigation techniques available. As a small experiment, I planted two beds this spring with identical vegetables – one with ollas and a control bed without. Making Ollas Olla-making supplies: Unglazed terra cotta pot (2 per olla), tile, silicone. Ollas vs. Olla buried in the garden.
