Is the space crunch a barrier in between you and your love for gardening? Opt for vertical gardening and start adorning your walls with green goodness
Refreshing vertical gardens
Confused about what to do with that unattractive bare wall that is literally taking away from the decor of your home? Or is the space crunch coming in your way when it comes to gardening? Either reasons, vertical gardens seem to be the solution to these pressing problems. Vertical gardens or green walls are the perfect option when it comes to beautifying your walls. Right from edibles, annuals or even perennials, all can be grown on vertical gardens. If your mind is set on creating one such piece of greenery in your home, you have two options, either opt for professional help or create your own DIY vertical garden. Such gardens could be created in a variety of ways, you could create a leather and wood trellis or fix a wire netting to a cedar frame to hold little terracotta pots. If you are looking to make a fun statement, then stack crates to create a vertical planter pyramid. Go a step ahead if you don't mind experimenting, and hang glass terrarium planters with succulents or even create a vertical herb garden.
Here are some steps that will make creating a vertical garden a cake walk: Begin by choosing a wall. If an ugly wall is bothering you for quite sometime, you already know which wall is best.
Then, build a basic structure that will comprise multiple layers and a frame.
Once the framework is ready, the most crucial part is creating the irrigation system. Also ensure that you have a fertilising injector in place to keep the plants nourished throughout.
Now, take into account factors like sun, shade, humidity, wind and cold, and choose the plants that you will be setting up.
A vertical garden has no limitations, so it could be as big as you want.
Now comes the fun part of creating the design you want. Once you freeze on the design, insert the plants through the various layers and voila your very own vertical garden is ready.
