Have you ever scrolled through Pinterest and seen beautiful images of melons, pumpkins, or beans growing in tunnels or up a trellis?
Did you think “oh that’s beautiful, I want to do that!”? Yeah, me too!
In the video below, Kimberly from Mini Meadows Farm Oklahoma shows us her incredible vertical gardening setup. She lists the advantages of vertical gardening vs gardening on the ground and shows you exactly how she made her trellises with cattle panels.
Some of the reasons she loves to garden vertically are that it creates better air circulation (reducing things like powdery mildew!), less chance for pests to take over, and uniform shape and color of her harvests.
What do you think? Are you going to try out vertical gardening after watching this?
Happy planting!
Growing up with a mom who filled her home (inside and out) with all sorts of plants, Lisa got her start in gardening at a young age. Living now on her own with a home and yard full of plants (including an indoor greenhouse), she shares all the gardening tips she’s gained over the years.
