Neighbors will die of envy! How to make a vertical flower bed with your own hands
Vertical gardening is actively gaining popularity not only in the field of landscape design. Summer residents are increasingly trying to decorate their backyard plots with these beautiful flower beds, which, by the way, are quite easy to build with their own hands.
Vertical flower beds amaze people with the variety of their forms. Having in stock a set of rather simple materials and a drop of originality, it is quite simple to build them absolutely on any site. The design turns out to be quite mobile – it can be easily moved from place to place, as well as dismantled for the winter.
Such flower beds are of several types: wall, ground, suspended and wall. They can be given almost any shape – from a ball to an image of a favorite animal. Now we will tell you how to create a flower bed from various materials.
Vertical flower bed made of pipes
There are several ways to use a pipe to create a flower bed. You can cut it horizontally, fill it with soil and hang it on the wall. It is also possible to connect several pipe elements like a constructor. To secure the structure, it can be tied, greased with sealant or welded.
Vertical flower bed made of bottles
This is one of the easiest methods to create this type of flower bed. It is enough to take an ordinary plastic bottle, turn it horizontally, make several holes for the soil and a couple more to fix it on the wall. The structure can be staggered to create a single composition. Most often, seasonings or medicinal herbs are grown in such bottles.
Vertical flower beds from pallets
Wooden pallets are increasingly used in the garden and in the country, not only for creating decorative elements, but also for more applied purposes. Boxes can be attached to them and placed on the site as an independent structure, or they can be attached to the wall by sending selected plants or flowers along them.
Vertical flower beds from tires or pots
This design is quite simple to build. So, tires or pots can be painted in different colors by connecting them together using self-tapping screws or a long metal rod, or placing them on a stable support. You can grow beautiful flowers or garden plants in the flower bed.
Vertical flower bed made of chain-link
We prepare the mesh of the required size, cut off the geotextile, leaving gaps on the sides. In the chain-link, you need to cut cells for flowers in a checkerboard pattern. Then it is worth rolling the mesh into a pipe and fastening it with garden staples. We put textiles and soil inside, after which you can plant the selected plants in the cells. The manufacturing process is shown in more detail in the video below.
