Vertical Garden

cmittle · 07-31-12, 10:48 PM

I've got the idea that next year I'd like to run some 2 x 6's across the side of the 4x4's holding up my deck, and build some planters off of these. In said planters I'd like to plant strawberries, peas, beans, lettuce, spinach etc..

These planters would create a vertical garden on the east side of my deck. Has anyone done something like this or anything with vertical gardens that may have some insight into things like the required size of the planter, watering frequency, or just general don't forget to do this information?
