Easy DIY Vertical Garden Structures

It Begins with Winter Garden Planning

Now is the time that many of us are getting ready to start seeds indoors and plotting our outdoor gardens.  Each year when planning, I like to go back through the years to review layouts and designs that were successful. One of the things I always reuse are vertical structures.


Benefits of Vertical Gardening

If you research vertical gardening, you will see information for DIY ideas and for purchasing vertical structures. The idea behind vertical gardening is to grow more and to save space. I definitely subscribe to these ideas in my own garden, and I like DIY in order to save money.

I have tried a few different structures over the years and found success with most of them. I've utilized cattle panels, window and door frames with both glass and chicken wire, skids, wire reels, 
and hand built trellises.

I suggest researching and determining what kind of space you have and what you plan to grow. Check out companion planting as well because this will help in the overall coordination and location of things.
