Vertical Garden Idea

Curbly.com's DIY Vertical Garden Idea

Though I'm not maintaining my own garden at the moment, I still get excited about neat ideas for future gardens- for myself and for you, too! This one has potential, but I'd be careful about the origins of any reclaimed wood used in or around your garden, especially if you're growing edibles. Reclaimed wood can harbor evil little insect goblins that can kill your garden and even invade your home! Also, you're not going to want to grow your food in cans previously housing toxic paints- you might, instead find unused tins or buckets, or ones that you know didn't contain nasties...this includes BPA from the linings of food cans, which One Study indicates plants may be able to absorb! OHNO! don't eat'em, please and thank you- I don't need you getting all sickly in your quest for food independence!

We are prepping to leave the house in favor of a life of adventure and travel, so I am coming to terms with  the fact that I won't be doing any more planting at our little patch of green. Doing my best to be content with the Collards, Sweet Potatoes, Mint, Lemon Thyme, Basil, and Rosemary that persist from seasons past. 

I found this fabulous little poster this morning - a repost from Homesteading/Survivalism- and tracked it to it's source: http://www.rootologyhealth.com/

Hope it helps!
