Vertical Garden from Free Recycled Styrofoam

Step 8 Plant it

Go to your local nursery or Home Depot or wherever you want and get your plants and potting mix.

• Pour your mix in the planter up to the first row of holes.
• Gently hit the roots of the plants you're putting into the holes against something to shake the dirt off the roots. This will make it easier to stick into the holes.
• Stick the plants through the holes root first.
• Pour more potting soil up to the next row of holes, making sure to press down on the potting soil to make sure it and the plants stay firmly in place. (Don’t go too crazy here as you want oxygen to get to the roots, but you can press it down firmly)
• Put the plants in the top row of holes, press everything down again, and hang it.
