Vertical growing and IKEA

[chefgage]

How about using cut down plastic bottles to fill your pockets?

Thats a good idea. We tend to use about one 1l bottle of orange juice a week. I will start saving them

Looking at how it looks we are going to get another two. One in the middle of the extension on the same wall with flowers in to give the garden a bit more colour and another to the right on the same wall with herbs in.

A bit of an update, things are growing well!

Going to get the other two up this week. Just been to the garden centre and they have loads of different herbs in pots so that's what's going in one of the hangers.

Looks great!

Wow, cool to see how many are taking this up! I have had mine for two years now and dwarf beans, lettuces and herbs do best in these pockets, though I have done chantennay carrots, beetroot, chard etc in them too with slightly less success. Strawberries would probably be fab! I might give that a go this year

Hi Sarriss Luvly to see you here again

[SarrissUK]

Aww thank you VC! Lovely to be back to see you all! I've had a tumultuous year or two - got made redundant, split with a fella, started a business but all the while I was gardening still, but had to give up my allotment as I simply didn't have enough time for it. Now contemplating a new fence along one side of my small garden to allow vertical gardening all along it.
Missed you all and here to look for some inspiration!

Heyup Sarriss, nice to see you back. Thought you'd found a millionaire and eloped abroad.................

[SarrissUK]

haha i wish!! No actually, I don't wish to meet a millionaire - I've been reminded over the last year just how money affects your happiness, and how much stress it gives you when you are faced with earning less. In actuality, I'm happier now than I have been in years, and money most certainly doesn't make me happy

[Bigmallly]

Good for you lass................and here was me thinking you'd only come back to make 400 posts.............

[SarrissUK]
