:0 :0 :0 Hey a girl who is vertically challenged has to take advantage any way she can! This is a thread about vertical gardening isn't it???

Lady, the wiseass in me wants to tell you and Taz not to get short with me! But I'm much wiser than that so I won't tell you. Lol

I know I saw something on this in a magazine at one point, but most of what I'm finding now is on herbs and climbing plants. Very little on vegetable gardens set up like this. I'd like to grow a few things at work, just because, but my available space is only a couple feet wide. Anyone have experience or knowledge here? Learning which plants thrive using this method would be especially appreciated.

This is an incredible planting system I have seen it action and it does work very well. www.cultivate.towergarden.com I am not selling it just speaking of the quality in it. I might be getting it for the winter months in Colorado to preprep for the spring planting.

^ that looks pretty cool; but it sure isn't cheap! I'm going to make a variation of it this weekend, kind of a cross between that, and the tower system Taz mentioned earlier, and a few tricks from the global buckets thrown in too. I'll post results (if it works out)
lol

Thanks Vodin, I'll check the link out in the next couple days.

As I understand it ( I am talking to Jennifer ) she said that it works year round indoors and outdoors in the summer. It is has no soil (making it hydroponics) the base of the column is like 1/3 of a 55 gal barrel (my analysis). And it waters itself from the water in the base. The pump could operate via solar speak to Helo for further details. All in all it makes sense and it works with a small foot print. I have seen the start and end results and am amazed with what it does. Either way I thought I would pass it on to ya since the question was asked.

Not necessarily a garden, per se... but an example of what you can do.

This is a flower feature that is in the back of my firepit area. Standard issue pallet, wrapped on the bottom and sides with landscape fabric, filled with soil, and then planted. Once it 'sets' for a couple days, we stand it up and lean it against a tree for the summer.
