VERTICAL VEGETABLES: "Grow up" in a small garden and confound the cats!

Step 2: Attach pole to shed or wall

I attached a strong chrome pole with metal fittings to the shed.
You could use a curtain pole.
Make sure it is at the correct height especially if you want to grow plants in a trough below ( see step 7). This uses the surplus water from the pockets above.

A sturdy branch will work in place of the pole, it also can look a little nicer, and definitely cheaper. I first saw it for hanging window curtains on Threadbanger. You can attach it on the hooks the same way as a normal pole.

that's just so beautiful. I've been using grocery bags filled with soil and tomato plants and just hanging them along the balcony. But this is waaaay better.

This is a fantastic idea for my terrace here in Spain. Muchimas gracias! I will send the link to all of my friends here.

The strong hooks noted in the photo above are NOT on your materials list. What type of hooks are you using here?
