hanging garden/vertical garden thingy

Little_Vics

Hi - ages ago I saw something about hanging gardens/vertical gardens which would be IDEAL for me! Can someone tell me a little bit more about them, and where I can get one?

I found THIS if its any help , I imagine they are very expensive maybe you could get an idea and then DIY it...

HERE is another ....

Looks similar to a shoe holder, perhaps you could just use one of those.

I'm going to attemp a vertical herb garden of my own in the summer, and here is my half thought through plan.

At the moment I am planting my seedlings in to old baked bean tins with the labels soaked off and some holes punched in the bottom for drainage (did the holes by pushing through the tip of the corkscrew, it goes through the value / smart price tins particularly easily).

My idea for making these in to a 'vertical garden' was to but lots of those cheap screw-in hooks on the side of the shed (in a sort of grid) and the put a hole just under the top lip of the tins and hang them off the hooks. They would tilt a little I imagine, but towards the sun so it should (fingers crossed) work well.

Anyone have any idea if this would would't work for any reason? Or any ideas for improvement, I'm all ears! I'll post a pic when and if I manage to pull it off!

I saw a hanging plant holder in the 99p shop today,made out of green hessian type material.
not sure if you plant directly in the pockets or use it to hold plant pots but its got to be worth a look for 99p.

I've been saving tins with the same plan but I thought that I would hang them from a pole attached to the wall, with twine threaded through holes in the tins. I love the decorated tins someones put on.
