Here’s a clever vertical planter by Anne Phillips of Go Green Gardeners made from a wine rack. Replacing wine bottles with soil and plants makes a garden that takes up a metre and can be leant against a wall or balcony edge.
The soil is held in the rack by mesh and coconut fibres, and the plants are all edible: lettuces, strawberries, mustard, herbs and rocket.
We don’t have these lovely old wine racks here in the states, but we do have lots of old wooden pallets. I will try this in spring using the modified wooden pallets. Thanks! ~ Lynda

this would be great for growing strawberries in a small space. Thanks for this idea.
