Would you like to have a vertical garden? Check out these tips!
Those who live in apartments, especially in large cities, face the issue of lack of space. When the desire is to cultivate in an organised way, but it becomes challenging, there’s always a solution!
A vertical garden can be an alternative, using vases and other containers that use the space vertically, covering all types of vegetables, plants and flowers that are necessary for your daily life.
What to plant in vertical gardens?
It’s possible to plant all kinds of vegetables! Aromatic herbs are a frequent choice due to their practicality and the reduced space they take up, but they are not the only ones.
There are those who plant other vegetables, in a smaller format, with equally effective results. Here are some examples:
- Chives;
- Lettuce;
- Basil
- Rosemary
- Cucumbers
- Arugula
- Cherry tomato
- Garlic
If the goal is to make the vertical garden prosper for a long time, consider the following criteria:
- Sunlight. How much sun exposure does each plant need? Those that need more light should be placed in the upper containers, while the rest can be placed on the lower levels. Study these needs well before starting to organise your vertical garden.
- It is important to understand which containers to use in order to prepare the garden. You can use simple vases or give new life to objects you already have at home, such as plastic bottles or styrofoam blocks. Especially because the concept of reuse can be put to good use!
- Fertilis For the soil to be fertile, it is possible to use organic fertilisers, reusing eggshells and bananas. Chemical fertilisers are an option, but if you have curious pets, be extra careful and vigilant.
- Watering plants is essential, it is through water and light that they survive and thrive. However, water with care!
And to complement the decor in the new garden environment, there’s nothing like coverings in natural tones for the surrounding walls. Find everything you need in the Sagiwall range.
After everything is done and the food you planted is ready to be eaten… just enjoy!
