I have attached the link to the youtube video. It's pretty easy. And, thanks to Oil Robb as I have now an idea of what to plant. I think or should I say, I want to plant cucumber first. That would be a good start.

Thanks everybody!

Im in the process of becoming an urban farmer (and dumping the 9 to 5! YES!) and have invented / tested / researched many ways to produce food vertically with as much efficiency as possible. see the below picture for an example...those are over the door shoe organizers i got from walmart. They cost 9$ a piece, are tough enough to survive multiple winters, even outside, and will grow 20 heads of lettuce to almost full size without using a square inch of ground space!

In my backyard, this means i can grow over 5000 lettuces/herbs/strawberries/carrot/onion/etc without using any flat space. When space is limited and youre trying to make a living at this, it counts A LOT!

A combination of many vertical systems works best for optimal results. Those pockets will not grow a large plant such as a beefsteak tomato or an eggplant for example....but for those, I have a different system!

The important points in vertical growing:

-Use a lightweight medium that drains well but holds water well.

-use plants that most efficiently close the space between one another in the system youre using without overlap (for example in the below picture ideal would be to have all of the planter covered in canopy.

-The cheapest your vertical system, the better. Vertical farming, as opposed to flat farming, requires supporting structures, which turns it into an intensive capital activity. The return is really worth thei nvestment IF and only IF you can find a cheap way to set yourself up. I strongly encourage reusing things that would go in the trash. Remember, reusing is always better than recycling. Get creative. Dont buy those overpriced vertical planters, they have sucked up all the benefit youd get out of vertical farmign in their overinflated prices.

-Irrigation is a challenge...best set yourself up with drip from the start, if youre serious about results that is.

-Nutrients are quickly depleted in a vertical system with limited growing medium. That leaves you with 2 choices: either empty out the system at eevry crop and refill with compost rich medium, or use water soluble nutrients, which makes it easy for drip....your pick

Hmm if anyone has any questions, ask away. I must have read a good 5000 hours on the subject not including all the practical testing and research... :)

Pole beans are one of the two varieties of beans grown. Unlike their bushy cousins, pole beans grow on slender vines that wander for long distances. These light, thin vines can grow up almost any vertical structure. Set up bamboo poles into a tepee shape or run a series of strings between poles to get the vines off the ground and the beans in the air.

Tomatoes grow much better when they are caged or trellised vertically. The tomatoes have less chance of splitting and rotting from being in the dirt, the vines are up in the air so that pests can be spotted and taken care of easier and the fruit can be supported, so larger tomatoes can grow. Install classic tomato cages around the seedlings when they are planted, and gently tie tomato vines to the cages to train them.
