I have bought this thread back to life because I have just found a link to the interview that set me off on the subject:

So Hattie have you begun creating your vertical garden yet?! All this motivation you've found to get you going and all!?

Hahahahaha...yep, but looks like I'm gonna have to get a mega-monitor to hold all the shortcuts.

I'll bet that veritcal gardening on the walls of these buildings helps with heating and cooling costs.

YAY I knew this subject was on here! thanks for bumping it

Hattie didnt you send me a link to someone who was growing potatoes in a cage vertically? I have everything I need to do it but was wondering if the potatoes would find their way out on each layer?

do you remember?

I wish I could open all the links here at work but we block the strangest things

I want to try both potatoes and something else but have not figured out yet what else

I am ready go go and just waiting until our nights are in the 50's to start the great vertical potato project

I found a whole lot of videos on the subject of vertical gardening on YouTube, here's one:

I think this could be great in a back yard in a city. A similar idea might work really well for growing strawberries..........Mmmmm...!!

Wow vertical gardening is the latest trend in the market now a days. One of my friend had the vertical setup and was working very well for him but here the light need to be setup on the individual basis.
