The population is growing at such an alarming rate that it is hard to feed them in the same way as before. This is where vertical vegetable gardening comes in. This innovative way allows people to grow vegetables even if they have very little space.

 

Vertical vegetable gardening also opens a new avenue for gardening fanatics; they can have their own little vegetable garden even if they have no access to actual land. In the beginning, this concept seemed to be too good to be true - almost fantastical, something that would soon go out of fashion due to its impractical nature. However, time passed, and vertical vegetable gardening is here to stay.

 

Starting a vegetable garden needs very little work. Unlike constructing an actual vegetable garden, very little work has to be done. Especially if you are using containers to formulate your vertical garden, you can do this in no time at all.

 

A frequent question that comes to mind when faced with this topic is 'How to build a vertical vegetable garden?' (See video below on how to build a small vertical garden for about $15.) Surprisingly, it is nowhere as difficult to accomplish as the name suggests. First, you need to find a spot where there is plenty of sunlight since that is the most important factor when it comes to growing anything.

According to the abundance of your sunlight exposure, you can select the plants that will be most suited to your climate. After that, you need to find vertically-oriented containers and fill them with a suitable potting mixture that could possibly contain composted manure. This will allow your plants to grow healthily. Then you just have to construct a structure that supports your vegetables to grow vertically.

Vegetable garden design is a concept that should be given immense importance. Before starting constructing the actual garden, you need to be sure that the vegetables you have chosen will actually fit into the allotted space. You cannot just think about the seeds, but also the size they will reach once they grow. Tomatoes are a case in point. The majority of tomato plants will continue to vine out and cover a large area by the end of summer. Consider how much space you have for such vining plants.

 

The concept behind vertical vegetable gardening is simple. It allows vegetables to grow vertically by attaching them to such a structure that will force their growth to take a vertical direction. Since many people no longer have houses with land and gardens, vertical gardening gives them a chance to utilize their patios, fences, rooftops to grow vegetables.

 

The best part of these gardens, sometimes called 'kitchen gardens, is that they allow small households to become self-reliant. Even if they are completely broken, they do not have to go to bed on an empty stomach. There's even a garden at O'Hare airport that's growing veggies for local restaurants.
