This document provides 5 tips for easier vertical gardening for beginners:
1. Buy starter plants instead of growing from seed for easier planting.
2. Start with a smaller container that is easier to manage and hang. Consider adding sections over time for a larger garden.
3. Set up irrigation and drainage systems beforehand to keep plants healthy and prevent messes. Automated systems make maintenance easier.
4. Use planters with individual compartments so plants can be removed or replaced easily.
5. Consider a vertical gardening kit that includes everything needed and makes the project quick and easy.
2. Vertical gardening is an efficient and space-
saving way to grow plants, especially if you
are an urban gardener.
However, it can be challenging to get
started if you have never grown plants
vertically before.
3. • If you start without
doing some research
and planning first, you
can end up with an
overwhelming project.
• Soil and water can
leak, the planting
container can fall
apart and plants can
die.
4. • The key to success with
a vertical garden can be
as obvious as
simplifying your garden.
• By doing this, your
project will require less
work and less time, plus
you will be able to avoid
many common
mistakes that newbies
make.
5. • Here are a few tips for making your
vertical gardening project easier.
7. • Instead of trying to
grow plants from seed,
buy starter plants for
your first vertical
garden.
• They are easier to
grow, but they also fill
out the container
faster.
9. • Obviously, the smaller container you
use, the less plants you have to get and
the less work you have to do.
• In addition, smaller planters are easier
to hang and move.
10. • Some vertical garden frames or
pouches can be purchased in sections,
so you can piece them together over
time to create a larger vertical garden.
12. 3. Set Up Irrigation & Drainage
Systems Beforehand
13. • Proper irrigation and drainage are
important to a vertical garden to keep
plants healthy and prevent a large
mess.
14. • Typically, a watering
system needs to be
installed prior to
flowers or herbs being
planted.
• Therefore, planning
ahead can help you
avoid problems later.
15. • Furthermore, an
efficient or automatic
watering system can
make vertical gardens
much easier to
maintain.
• You can use less water,
you can water less often
and plants will grow and
look better.
16. 4. Use a Planter that has Individual
Compartments
17. • Planting structures can contain one big
planting bed or several separate
planting containers.
• The advantage to having individual
compartments is that flowers can be
removed or changes much more easily
or new herbs can be planted every year.
18. • As plants get larger,
they usually cover
the planting
structure, making it
appear as one large
single bed anyway.
20. • If you are planting
your first vertical
garden, an easy way
to learn how the
system works is with
a vertical garden kit.
21. • There are several different options to
choose from, depending on what you
want to plant and where you want your
garden to be located.
22. • Some kits include
everything a gardener
needs except plants
and soil, which can
make a gardening
project quick and
easy.
23. • Finished planter frames, waterproofing,
individual compartments, hanging
hardware, irrigation, drainage and even
automatic timed watering are some of
the features that kits provide.
