About This Project

We built these before we saw these plans, but they are pretty much the same... We added the chicken wire to keep the rabbits (and our dog) out of the garden. We added the owl to keep the birds out.

We've gotten a ton of tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers so far. Next year, we'll add a few more beds.

We also added the verticle garden to take up less space, but its not deep enough. We'll make the next one deeper.

Love the vertical garden!

Love the vertical garden! What a wonderful idea! Did you line the boxes with plastic??

Success

We ended up getting a ton of tomoatoes and green peppers from the garden boxes. We've actually built a couple more. We'll probably double again before next spring. We're looking at adding more veggies.

We now have ton of stuff planted for the fall...

Plan?

How did you build the upright planter boxes? Do you mind explaining the building process/design? I really want to plant this in my yard!

vertical box instructions?

i love the vertical boxes. I am just trying my hand at the world with a green thumb and could use as much advice as possible about how to make as well as to line the boxes or not to line them. All advice appreciated!
