If you are living in a city like
Florida and are wondering about Florida Agriculture, then Vertical Gardening
System is your ideal choice. In this method, small area could be utilized
to grow maximum crops. However, you can decide on the space on your own. The
basic structure needed for vertical garden is the panel or the frame which is
used for growing the plants. There are some pre-made frames available which
will have all the necessities to set up a vertical garden. In case, you are
making your own frame then it is ideal to go for the metal which will not rust
otherwise you can even opt for wood. But whatever you use it must be strong
enough to hold the plants which are heavy especially when they are wet. In
case, you go for wood, use those which will not rot. The frame could be made to
stand alone or could be attached to the wall but the wall should be strong
enough to support the frame. Introduction of waterproofing between your frame
and wall is also a good idea.
Next you have to select the
growing medium and it is ideal to use non-organic growing medium that are
shaped as pockets to hold plants. Next you have to set up the irrigation system
where you need to set up a reservoir or water container which will run the
length of your frame. When the pipe is extended backwards to the reservoir the
excess water will go back to it. This way we can save water and it need not be
wasted.
If you find this method of Florida Agriculture to be complicated, then
you can opt for climbing plants sowed on a pot or ground might cover the wall.
Instead of allowing themselves to find their way, it is ideal to attach a fine
mesh to your Vertical Growing System which
should be invisible especially when your plants start to flourish.
