Gardening and space go hand in hand.
If you plan to grow your very own fruits and vegetables the question is bound to come up…
Where can I grow all those plants?
For many, space can be an issue. Well, in comes the type of garden that reaches up instead of out…
A Vertical Tower
I’m going to tell you about this amazing style of gardening that is unlike a raised bed.
This kind of gardening can perform like every other, but with an added twist!
This is the kind of garden people who aren’t working with much land could use.
Come and discover the tower concept of gardening that is changing the way the patio or deck of urban dwellers can look and be used.
This post is all about vertical tower gardening.
What Are Vertical Towers? | 3 Basic Characteristics
- A container that allows you to grow up above the ground
- Composed of multiple openings for growing numerous plants
- Three-dimensional
A vertical tower is the answer to your garden needs whether you:
- live in an apartment with little outdoor space
- have a small garden
- want to add height to your garden
- physically can’t bend over to garden
- are not able to garden on your knees
There are so many reasons to choose a vertical tower instead of the typical raised beds or in-ground form of gardening.
How Do Vertical Towers Work?
With so many slots to use, the amount of plants you can grow and harvest is unbelievable.
Some vertical towers have room for up to 50 plants!!!
Now, that’s a pretty big harvest for container gardening.
Plant from seed or plant seedlings.
Only regular potting soil is needed, but something amazing happens when you give the plants the nutrients they need.
–COMPOST
One simple way to give plants the calcium, nitrogen, and/or phosphorus that some desperately need is to add compost.
Yes, even those who garden in a vertical tower garden deserve the healthiest, prettiest, and tastiest harvest!
-Sunlight
Sunlight is needed too. So, don’t forget to position your vertical tower so that sufficient sunlight can hit those plants that need it the most.
If on a partially enclosed patio, make sure to rotate or plant those requiring less sunlight facing the wall.
-Water
Don’t forget to water and add your compost tea.
