That said, like every nourished, healthy plant, we need a strong base to start with. Without one, youre inviting unneeded risks that can ruin your gardening project. So lets start seeding our brain with some information, shall we?

What is vertical gardening?

Exactly what it sounds like. Vertical gardening is an agricultural method for growing plants verticals with the help of walls or trees.

How does it work?

While we will discuss the requirements in proper detail later, the basic concept is very simple. Unlike conventional gardening, where you allow your plants to grow in their natural form, vertical gardening requires you to put in a little artificial care. Youll provide nutrients to your plants through a vertical system. Youll have your vertical surface inserted from the root up and provide nutrition on it. Thisll help to condition your plant to follow upwards.

If its a little difficult to follow, dont worry. Well dive into the details soon, and youll be able to create this magic by yourself in no time.

Does this even work?

Well, it worked for its creators: NASA. This technique was developed as a alternative to our normal agricultural systems. NASA realized how little space would be left on earth and how climate conditions might need to be artificially controlled to grow plants in some areas. But lets be fair, some plants have already been wall-climbers since their evolution as beings. So this is not a new concept and at times, yields better results than conventional methods.
