An easy DIY vertical gardening video

May 13th

Here’s a great video on using a few simple products to make your own vertical garden system with a reservoir. They just used Marine Ply or EPS to make the frame. (I’d imagine you could even use regular wood and a pond liner) Then they covered the back of the wall with Rockwool (readily available at hydroponic retailers) and put in a drip irrigation system at the top. Then you just need to plug your pump into a timer and set it to water a few times a day automatically. For fertilizer, you can just buy the water soluable kind and put a bit in the reservoir and you’re all set. Does that sound like something you’d try?
