Introduction: Vertical Garden From Polypropylene Bag in 10 Minutes

Growing vegetables in pots and even vertically on the wall, is an excellent solution to the problem of lack of land for a vegetable garden. I want to share my idea how to make a vegetable garden from a polypropylene woven bag. It's simple and fast. This is a great way to reuse bags and save money. These pots are suitable for horizontal and vertical garden.

Supplies

a polypropylene woven bag, I used 20-24" x 40", 

strong thread, 

a ruler, 

sewing pins, 

a felt-tip pen, 

scissors, 

a sewing machine,

an awl,

tube for automatic watering, 

a wooden plank 8 inches long, 0.2 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, 

a sturdy string to hang the pots vertically.

Step 1: Folding #1

Fold the bag along the lengths.



Step 2: Folding #2

Measure 2 inches from the side edge, divide the rest into four parts - for four pots. Mark the side borders of the pots with a felt-tip pen.

Step 3: Partition Markings

Measure 2 inches from the side edge, divide the rest into four parts - for four pots. Mark the side borders of the pots with a felt-tip pen.


Step 4: Sewing

Sew the marked borders and edges on the sides (see photo).


Step 5: Final Details

Unfold the bag and form 4 round pots.

Insert a wooden plank into the pocket from the edge.

For convenient watering when the pots are upright, make holes at the base with an awl and run a tube through all four pots (I used a tube of the medical dropper). Make holes in the tube.

Step 6: Planting and Hanging

You can now fill the pots with soil and sow / plant vegetables. Drainage is not necessary, as the woven polypropylene of the bag allows excess water to pass through well.

You can arrange the pots in a circle or in a line.

Make a hole in the middle after the wooden plank and pass the rope. Tie the ends. The pots are ready to hang.
