Before we jump into “how,” let’s discuss the “what, why and where.” What is vertical gardening? It’s planting your crops to make use of growing upwards instead of horizontally. Thus, you maximize the space you have. Wherever you live, you can have a vertical vegetable garden.

Why would you want to attempt such a project? There is pride in growing it yourself. You are not limited by what you can purchase. Your vegetables can be free of pesticides or chemicals. Your vegetables will be allowed to ripen fully in the garden. You also will be contributing to preserving our Earth, because your produce will not have to be transported to the market.

Where in the world can you find out about vertical vegetable gardening? You can surf the worldwide web. I am amazed at what you can find on the internet. Your local library is also an excellent resource.
