Does anyone use vertical gardening techniques?

And now... hopefully, I can get this patch under control, and start producing berries...

Ok, got bored this afternoon. Took 4 2 Liter bottles of coke (empty). Drilled 5 holes in the cap. Cut out 1" hol;e on the bottom and 3" hole on the side towards the bottom of the bottle. I inserted 1 bottle neck into the whole on the bottom of another 3 times. I then screwed the cap on inside the bottle where the neck enters the bottom of the bottle. I hung in on the fence with the top of the bottles facing the ground. I filled the bottles with dirt through the side 3" inch holes.

I planted seeds and filled the top bottle with about 3 cups of water. It drained through each bottle (dirt and seeds) to the one below it. It collects in the bottom one and I will pure it into the pond tomorrow and do the same thing with water taken from the pond.

I am pleased. This post belongs in 2 Liter bottles things to do. Here. What have you prepped for today. And a few other forums. So with just that I accomplished a bit today. : )

So far, so... So! Lol



My corn and 3 out of 4 tomato varieties seem to be doing well. One tomato type dried out and died early on.

Lots of things dried out, actually. Somebody shut my water off. It appears that most everything is recovering.

Only one bean plant came up, so I'm glad my dad's went well. No pepper's. No lettuce. No onions. The cabbage appears to have been eaten by some bug.

I finally harvested something though! Yay me! I cut several onion shoots (stalks) that we use in stew.

I think I'll still call it pretty successful so far, especially considering the location, conditions, and fact I largely ignore or leave it for days/ week at a time. Even with all of that its not all dead, and still producing food. I've learned about adequate watering, drainage, and now I'm looking at pest control..

How's it looking to ya'll for a first time gardner?

Looks real good for a first timer. Like my SIL said on his first go around, This is just an experiment. And that is all it was. It gets better with experience.

Here is something I didn't think of using for a vertical garden.
