Fun Vertical Garden Idea



This article was found on lifehacker.com....

Don't have enough space in your place to grow some herbs? Turn a shoe organizer into a vertical garden and as long as you have even a balcony railing with sun exposure, you'll have more than enough room.

Whether you're living in an apartment and dreaming of a garden's worth of fresh herbs for use in your kitchen, or you already have a garden and you want to put the bare side of your potting shed to work, this simple hack will turn your vertical space into an herb growing high rise.

The design is simple. Hang a canvas shoe organizer, fill with potting soil, and plant your favorite herbs in the pouches. With some strong sun and adequate water you'll have a thriving spread of herbs to flavor your favorite dishes. For more details on the design and implementation, check out the full tutorial at the link below.
