Therefore, they decided that a number of fruit and vegetable crops could be grown in a somewhat non-standard way.
An example of this is vertical bed - interesting and useful way decoration of the facade of the house. There is, however, some limitation - a southern or southeastern / western wall is suitable for such a bed.
The whole structure is based on a frame made of picket fence, nails and wire. It is along it that our fruitful shoots will crawl up. The stems are fixed (as they grow) with textile ropes or cellophane tapes.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and zucchini can now grow very close and delight the eye with natural colors.
By changing frame structureYou can create various patterns on the wall, controlling the direction and density of plant growth. It also keeps the inside of the house cool on a hot day.
There are also more affordable landscaping options. These are flowerpots at the entrance and on the windowsill. Flowers in the morning will wake you up with their fragrance and cheer you up. And in the afternoon they will bloom to the delight of guests and neighbors.
