Check out her website at www.gardengirltv.com This video is available through closed caption(cc) enjoy in any language. FULL TEXT Vertical Gardening Part 1 As urban gardeners, we have a limited amount of space to grow our vegetables and flowers. What I have done is I have employed verticle gardening. Right here as you can see, I have a variety of different cucumber plants. Now, a cucumber is vining crop, which means that with vertical support like this one, you can train it to grow up and the fruit, Take a look right here, can grow perfectly fine on the vine. Different types of crops that work well in a vertical garden are watermelon and pumpkin. Let us go take a look. Here, as you can see, my pumpkin plants are thriving. Pumpkin plants are also vining crops. Now, in the country, where you have a lot of space, you can just let this grow along the ground, but here in a city environment, we do not have all that space. So, what I have done here is, I put together a dog kennel. This is actually really nifty. It is exactly 4 x 4 so it fits perfectly in your raise beds. And, these vines just slough on themselves eventually. You do not have to continuously train them. Okay, so you can go vining crops on vertical supports, but there are other types of plants that also need support like my heirloom tomatoes here, this are Tiffin Mennonite tomatoes, and it grows to be a huge ...

I’d hit it.

if it looks as if it is going to grow too large to support itself you can always attach a fabric hammock to the support structure and the fruit can sit in that.

This technique becomes extremely helpful when one may or may not have a plethora of useless dead bodies that one may or may not have accumulated over the years.

i use powdered rock dust from Canadian glaciers mountains.. once you have this others are obsolete.

@LitCrit101 Actually I’ve grow a 5 pound pumpkin just holding to the vine. (I’m even showing it in my lastest vid) And it totally grew without touching the ground =)

I remember reading something about the vines being strong and thick enough to hold them.. something like they thicken and strengthen as the melon gets bigger.. something like that.

I would worry more about the strength of the support.. She is using a dog kennel for the heavy stuff. Which is a cool idea really.

I love your report. I live out on a farm with over 16 acres and I love to grow UP rather then all over. These are great techniques to share.

Aren’t pumpkins and watermelons too heavy to hang from a vine? I can understand cucumbers hanging from a vine that’s on a fence, but a big old pumpkin or watermelon? Won’t that just fall off or drag down the vine?

I though you were going to show how to make the trellis, you use the drill, but how do you put it together?

By mikerebel on April 1st, 2010 at 1:01 am

well, this is a good way the back in the path again, today is a garden in your roof, tomorrow could be a cottage in the fields

why dont people just live off the land instead of covering the world in concrete. Makes no sense. we can live for free of the land without money but they choose live with inorganic methods. its like the government have robbed us of our land and forced us to obey their empire of destructions. every garden that is in you’re house is just artifical and is just soil that has been dumped by a bulldozer unaturally. humans just make hard work for themselves. a proud history gone down the drain

Greetings! If you have any questions about gardening please take a look at my page, it’s very helpful and easy!

What is missing is actually educating people on hanging plants upside down on fences, beams & other strong support systems. I have tomato plants in a sealed canvas bag hanging through the bottom, needs lots of water!! seems to grow faster than hydroponics perhaps because the plant doesn’t struggle growing against gravity. The Stock is almost 3 times thicker than the scrawny ground plants as well.

By ho2cultcha on April 1st, 2010 at 6:14 am

do you get good pumpkins? i thought they needed to have ground warmth under them to produce well.
