Benefits Of Vertical Gardening When you grow food vertically, your vegetable garden will be healthier, your crops will be better, and you will have more time to enjoy the summer. Larger Harvests More food in less space Fungus and disease prevention Protection from pests Introduction: Why Grow Vertically? A vegetable garden doesn't have to be purely functionalit can be beautiful too! Vertical gardening is all the rage right now, and it's one of the best ways to add unique character and charm to your vegetable garden. Though it's certainly not a new invention, vertical gardening has been given more attention lately because of all the fun and exciting spins on this old concept. Whether you choose to trellis vining crops or plant vegetables in a vertical container garden, growing food vertically will result in larger harvests. When vining crops are grown on vertical supports rather than allowed to sprawl on the ground, they take up less space. Trellising vining crops slows down the spread of soil-borne fungus and disease, keeping the plants much healthier. Getting those yummy vegetables up off the ground will keep them out of the reach of hungry ground-dwelling pests.

The rebar will bend pretty easily, but take your time bending it because if you force it, the rebar could kink. You are aiming for an arch with 4' of space. Step 2: Install the arch pieces in the garden by driving the ends of the rebar into the ground. Space the ends of each arch 4' apart and the arches themselves 28 apart. Step 3: Lay the garden fencing over the top of the arch to measure how long the piece should be cut. Use wire cutters to cut the fencing to size. Step 4: Secure the fencing to the rebar arches using the zip ties, spacing the zip ties every 6 to 10 along the entire length of the rebar. Cut the extra tabs off the zip ties using scissors, if desired.

When you start considering all of the different options you have for supporting your vining vegetable crops, it will really open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking. One of the things I love the most about growing my vining vegetable crops vertically is that I can get so creative with it. Vertical plant supports add structure and beauty to the vegetable garden and give it a ton of character. Most gardeners add plant supports to their vegetable gardens as an afterthought, out of pure necessity. Living Walls And Hanging Gardens Vining Crops are fantastic, but they limit our options for growing vertically to only a handful of vegetables. When you start adding vertical walls, living art, and hanging gardens into the mix, your options for what you can grow vertically are almost unlimited. Small non-vining crops, such as greens, herbs, strawberries, and edible flowers, can flourish in just about any size container and are terrific for growing in these types of vertical gardens. Hanging gardens, especially living art and vertical walls, have become very popular ways to grow succulents and other ornamental plants but they are also a wonderful way to grow food! Planters And Towers Take traditional container gardening to whole new heights by combining it with vertical gardening. When you mix these two methods together, you can come up with some fun and unusual ways to grow your own food. Plus, when you build your container garden up rather than out, you can grow exponentially more food in less space. One of the biggest benefits of container gardening is that you can grow food in places you normally wouldn't be able to grow anythingfor example, on your deck, balcony, or patio. Growing vegetables in containers and planters is also the perfect solution if you're dealing with poor-quality garden soil or a yard with limited space. Read more
