DIY Vertical Garden Instructographic

Why must all gardens be horizontal? What about a vertical garden? Takes up less space, looks cool and impresses your gardening buddies; it is a great idea and this instructographic will show you how, literally.

You’ll need a few supplies:

• a wooden pallet
• sandpaper
• staple gun
• staples, obviously
• hammer & nails
• landscaping paper
• planting soil
• plants
• 1/4 inch thick MDF

The steps are outlines in the instructographic above but here are the highlights of building your DIY vertical garden wall:

1. Prepare the Pallet – sand it and nail the MDF to it.
2. Staple Paper to Pallet – double the paper up and staple to sides.
3. Fill Pallet with Soil – fill the pallet with soil leaving room for planting.
4. Start Planting – Star at the bottom and make sure plants are packed tight.
5. Water & Leave for 2 Weeks – This allows time for plants to take.
6. Stand up right and impress your gardening friends.
