How to Build A Vertical Garden Without Home Depot
For some of us, having to go to Home Depot to build a diy vertical garden is like adding insult to injury. We did not want to actually build a vertical garden from scratch in the first place - that's number one. And for number two, we do not want to drive to home depot and spend the entire day hunting for vertical gardening parts. (Nothing against Home Depot - a great store.)
But the most sensible way to build a diy vertical garden is to use a vertical gardening kit. Why? Vertical gardening kits are inexpensive, easy to assemble, and most importantly, they work. Using a vertical gardening kit, you can assemble your garden in a matter of minutes and save time and money. For example, with the Verti Garden system, you can create a lovely vertical garden in no time at all. Simply install the planter on a vertical surface using the included brackets and plant your flowers. A water tank is available as an optional accessory to the Verti Garden - which means maintenance will be quite easy.
The Verti Garden is just the tip of a very large ice berg, as there are many gardening kits available that can ease a gardener's burden when building his garden. Another example is the Geo Pot pocket planter. The Geo Pot allows gardeners to plant inside of a fabric like container garden and to hang the pot against any wall, fence or other vertical surface. Again, with this garden you will not need to go looking for parts or installation help. It very simple to use and you are going to love how your plants grow and look inside.
So before you spend all of your valuable time trying to build a vertical garden from scratch, be sure to consider a vertical gardening kit.
DIY Vertical Gardening Ideas
A many gardener has scoured the Earth looking for the best diy vertical gardening ideas. I continue to believe that the best diy vertical gardening ideas will always start and end with the plants, not the vertical garden infrastructure. For that reason, I am a strong advocate of the usage of vertical gardening kits, instead of some Home Depot vertical garden that's made from scratch. By using a vertical gardening kit, you save yourself the time (and possible headache) associated with searching for parts and assembling them. Instead, you time is better focused on selecting the plants you want to use and the appropriate design for your garden. With that said, here are a few of my favorite vertical gardening kits:
1. Flower Tower (freestanding)
The beauty of the Flower Tower is is simplicity and that it makes your plants the star. Just follow the vertical gardening kit instructions and you should be able to fully assemble your Flower Tower within 5 minutes. As you can see from the above photograph, the Flower Tower allows you to create beautiful, blossoming plants.
2. Lechuza Trio Cottage
One of the reasons, I love the Lechuza Trio Cottage is because it gives you the "big plant" vertical gardening experience with ease of maintenance. You can plant larger, vining plants in the Lechuza and get all of the benefits of a large vertical gardening kit. Your plants can be easily moved around to create privacy or to add a sense of style to a walk way. Plus, the Lechuza includes a built in irrigation system, which will make watering and maintenance easy.
