I'm going to do some verticle gardening this year. I saw it 25 years ago at the National Arboretum. [View all]

I got some PVC sewer pipes. My wife's requiring that I spray paint them dark green. The smaller guage has holes drilled in it and the larger ones don't. I'm going to cut them in half, secure them with those metal fence post thingies with the wedges near the bottom and the hooks for fence ties, put gravel in the bottom and a good mix of soil and starting soil for the remainder. Obviously you don't want to grow onions or potatoes in anything like that, but anything that likes to vine like squash, cucumbers, most tomatoes, etc. are fair game. So are brussels sprouts near the top - they make them look like a tree. It will be my first attempt at it, but we'll have to see how it goes.
