Vertical mini gardens need much less useful space, yet nature can be brought in the flat. Aside from the full-wall covering plants can be made only by professionals, let’s see the ways to make an own vertical garden DIY.
The simplest way is to fix a grid on the wall and hang the flower pots and boxes on it. The arrangement can be symmetrical or asymmetric, up to the taste.
Recycling more and more comes into view. Let’s use for example PET bottles instead of pots from shops, in which a hole should be cut at the side and it should be filled with black soil. It can be stably hung or swung by fixing at its two ends.
Soak off the paper from cleaned bigger cans and paint them in color fit to the interior (but the original metal can be left bare also). It can be fixed even with a hook by making a hole on the top of it. A piece of water-shoot filled with plants gives a similar mood also.
For a more playful sight, for example old shoe and boot, bigger mugs, color plastic jugs, wooden box lids (succulents keep the mould well, this way it doesn’t spill out) and small buckets can be used as pots.
These shouldn’t be necessarily hung on the wall. They can be a room separating element by fixing them to each other and hanging them from the ceiling. The steps of an old ladder lent and fixed to the wall can be used as shelves. The possibilities are almost endless.
