The Vertical Garden uses common household items (old clothing that can no longer be donated and used shower curtain..) and repurposes them into a hanging garden.
Each step will tell you what materials are needed, the objective, and then give you a breakdown of what needs to be done to make a Vertical Garden.
This garden is perfect for anyone who:
*is tight on space
*likes to conserve
*wants to save some money on groceries by growing locally
*wants to have a healthier diet.

Signing UpStep 1: Items Needed
*Old, non-donatable clothing . (for this Instructable, I will use ripped pants.)
*A plastic liner . Anything around the house is plastic and somewhat durable. (I will be using an old shower curtain liner.) It has to be large enough to cover the interior of the article of clothing.
*Gravel for irrigation. A small bag should do fine.
*Soil enough to fill the article(s) of clothing that were chosen.
*Seeds or a seedling from a local nursery.
*Water (for the plants)
*Strong nails or screws (for hanging the planter).
*Hammer/Screwdriver to secure the nails.
*Needle and thread or sewing machine to stitch up clothing to make the right shape for the planter. I recommend using fishing line for durability.
*Scissors/Box Cutters.

I've been thinking about doing micro-greens and this would be a cool way- I think I would put the leg length wise though- cut slits for the plants (and use fray check or something like that on the edges.
I like some of the liner showing.- why not let a bit show- gives it some pop!
I think I'll go look for a plastic shower curtain -(on sale of course- ) when I do this.
An other way you could hang this is to add grommets at the top- (or put in buttonholes?)
Anyway- very cool-
Thanks for a great instructable.
