Introduction

Vertical gardening is a great way to grow fresh herbs and vegetables in your home. Vertical gardens can help you save space, make your kitchen look beautiful, and give you access to fresh herbs without having to leave the house. It’s surprisingly easy to create a vertical garden at home if you follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose Your Container

• Choose a container that is large enough to accommodate your plants. Try not to have more than one layer of plants in each container, as this will make it difficult for the roots to absorb nutrients from the soil and water.
• Choose a container made of material that does not rot or rust. Materials like concrete, ceramic, plastic and glass can be used for vertical gardening containers because they don’t corrode when exposed to moisture from the soil and do not break like wood does when there is movement within the space (i.e., wind).
• Don’t choose anything too heavy to move around easily as it will become cumbersome if you need/want other things out of place at times during your gardening experience with this method.
• Finally, keep in mind how easy it will be for you clean up after yourself once all is done! A lot goes into designing this type of garden so choosing something easy on yourself while maintaining its beauty without having any maintenance worries is key here!

Step 2: Soil and Drainage

Now that you have the right container and soil, it’s time to fill your pot with soil. It is important that you choose a potting mix that is light, well-draining and has a pH level of 6.0-6.5. When choosing a potting mix look for one that does not contain any peat moss as this will prevent plants from receiving all the nutrients they need to grow properly. If you are unsure about which type of potting soil would work best for your vertical garden start by asking at your local nursery or garden centre for advice on what type of potting mixture would work best in both containers and hanging baskets alike!

Once filled with the appropriate soil mixture place in your chosen location where there will be some natural light but no direct sunlight (particularly around noon). Place some stones or rocks at the bottom of each container before adding water so that there are holes allowing water to drain out once it has been used up by plant roots keeping air circulation high which prevents root rot from occurring later down road when watering less often becomes necessary due to lack

Step 3: Plant Selection

Step 3: Plant Selection

The next step is to choose the right plants for your vertical garden. There are many different types of plants you can choose from, but first you need to consider which type of container you have chosen. If you don’t have a good idea of what kind of container would work best for your space and climate, there are plenty online sources that can help figure this out. Once these considerations have been made, here are some general guidelines for choosing the right plants for your space:

• Choose plants that are suitable for your climate (i.e., not too hot or cold).
• Choose plants that will thrive in the conditions where they will be grown (i.e., soil type).
• Choose plants that grow well in containers (i.e., dwarf varieties).
• Choose easy-to-care-for varieties over difficult ones—trimming hedges once every year instead of daily maintenance would make all the difference!

Step 4: Arranging Your Plants

Step 4: Arrange Your Plants

Once you’ve chosen the plants and containers, it’s time to arrange them. One of the best things about vertical gardening is that it offers a lot of flexibility with how you can arrange your plants. There are no rules, only guidelines!

When arranging your plants, remember to consider how big each plant will grow, where the sun or shade is coming from in your yard or space, and what kind of texture or colors will create a nice look for your garden. You want to make sure that all of these elements work together well so that when someone sees it they say “wow!”

Step 5: Planting

Step 5: Planting

Planting should be done in the right order, with the right soil and in the right way. It should also be done in the right season and time of year. This can vary depending on where you live but generally spring/summer is best.

Once your herb garden is set up and ready to go, it’s time to choose which plants you want to use! Most herbs will grow well if planted from seedlings or cuttings; however some do better when started from seeds like parsley or dill. If you’re planting from seedlings or cuttings then make sure that they are at least 2 inches tall before planting them into your vertical garden planter box so that they have enough time to establish themselves before winter comes around again next year (if applicable).

Step 6 Taking Care of Your Vertical Garden

The last step to creating a vertical garden is taking care of your vertical garden. This means watering, fertilizing, pruning, staking plants and more.

• Watering: Watering is essential to keep your plants alive and healthy. You should water at least every other day depending on how much sun they get or how dry the air is in your home/garden area. If you are growing herbs that don’t need as much watering then you can skip watering everyday but check them every 3-4 days just to make sure they are still moist enough to survive without getting too dry out there!* Fertilizing: After 6 months or so most vegetables will start producing flowers which will turn into fruits if pollinated correctly by bees or butterflies flying around through our window screens (yes really). If not pollinated correctly then no fruit will be produced for us human beings know about until next year’s harvest time comes along again.* Pruning: Some plants need less pruning than others during their lifetime so make sure before buying any seeds from Amazon where most of them come from China now days since they’ve become too expensive here in America due to tariffs being imposed upon imported goods (amongst other things like taxes) which drove up prices greatly over time due us citizens having no control over what happens here on U S soil anymore..

Conclusion

Even if you don’t have much space in your house, it is possible to create a beautiful vertical garden. There are many different options when choosing the right container for your plants. If you are looking for something that can hold more soil and water than say a standard clay pot, then consider using an old wine barrel or even repurposing an old piece of furniture like an antique dresser or chair leg base!
