Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah, but did you see the price? I was interested until I looked. Must be ways to do it yourself.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 You can make a plant tower several ways, for very little money. I get burlap sacks from a local coffee shop that roasts their own beans-these are huge sacks, probably hold 100 pounds or so of beans. You can put the sack inside a tomato cage (about 3 dollars at any garden center) Secure the sack with twine at the top, and fill it with soil. Cut an X in the sack in each of the squares of wire mesh on the cage, and tuck a seedling in each X-you can grow 20 or more plants this way, ranging from herbs to small bush beans, bush peas, or dwarf type melons, squash, etc. You can also make " gutter gardens " by securing old gutter pieces (I get them from freecycle) to a fence or even the side of your house (I have them mounted on the side of my house by my root cellar) Fill the gutters with soil and plant leaf lettuce, lavender, chamomile, herbs, or other plants that don't require a lot of soil. This is a great way to make good use of space. > > https://growingupwith.towergarden.com/ > > > > I have not used this but it looked too cool not to share. > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > Please bookmark these pages: > > > > /links/ > > (this is the Links page where I save the answers to FAQs and Answers, Recipes, and LOTS of other helpful information - this page is always being added to) > > > > /links/IMPORTANT_VitamixE\ nthusiasts_Membership__001327149393/ > > PLEASE DON'T UNSUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE GETTING TOO MUCH MAIL!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 You can use landscape fabric, but it won't hold up as well. I use it in smaller containers though, and to make grow bags. I took an old patio table, turned it upside down and lined it with landscape fabric and planted fingerling potatoes in it-worked great, but started degrading before I wanted it to, lol. You can also get the sacks from Mexican Restaurants-they often get their rice in them. Or just list on freecycle that you want some-just be sure a food was stored in it, so it isn't contaminated with anything else-you wouldn't want ones that held animal feed or anything with chemicals in it. > >>> https://growingupwith.towergarden.com/ > >>> > >>> I have not used this but it looked too cool not to share. > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> ------------------------------------ > >>> > >>> Please bookmark these pages: > >>> > >>> /links/ > >>> (this is the Links page where I save the answers to FAQs and Answers, Recipes, and LOTS of other helpful information - this page is always being added to) > >>> > >>> /links/IMPORTANT_VitamixE\ nthusiasts_Membership__001327149393/ > >>> PLEASE DON'T UNSUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE GETTING TOO MUCH MAIL!
