Have you
ever wanted to start your own garden but didn’t think you had the space? Then
this book is for you! In this helpful how-to guide, experienced gardener Chris
McLaughlin teaches you how to grow plants in vertical structures rather than sprawled
out on the ground. This book is specifically focused on growing edible plants,
so no matter how much space you have, you can still enjoy your own healthy,
home grown vegetables.
It turns
out that saving space is by no means the only reason to try vertical gardening.
For one thing, this gardening method uses less soil, which saves you
considerable time watering. For another, using less soil will save you money.
Because vertically grown plants have better air circulation, you’ll also be
bothered with fewer pests, weeds and plant diseases.
McLaughlin
spends the first part of her book giving instructions on how to set up a
vertical garden. This includes a detailed section on how to build your own
vertical structures from scratch. From simple fences to trellises and cages, this
book provides step-by-step guidelines (including materials lists) on how to
make them. If you don’t feel like constructing things from scratch, McLaughlin
also has a section on how to convert anything from spice racks to garbage bags
into vertical gardening structures.
