- Watering can
Constructing Vertical Garden Supports
Start by cutting your wooden planks to the desired height for your vertical garden. Next, arrange the planks in a ladder-like pattern and secure them together using screws. Ensure that the structure is stable and can support the weight of the plants and soil.
Creating Pockets
Once the support structure is in place, it's time to create pockets for your plants. Cut pieces of landscape fabric into rectangles, leaving extra fabric at the top to fold over and staple to the wooden supports. Staple the fabric pockets to the supports at regular intervals to create a grid of pockets for your plants.
Maintenance
Watering your vertical garden is crucial to keep your plants healthy. Use a watering can to water the plants, ensuring that water reaches all the pockets. Regularly check the soil moisture to prevent overwatering or underwatering.
Conclusion
Constructing vertical garden supports and creating pockets for your plants is a fun and rewarding project that can transform any space into a lush oasis. With the right materials and a bit of creativity, you can enjoy a beautiful vertical garden in your home.
