Dear friends, hello everyone!
In this article, I want to tell you how I made a vertical flower bed last summer. I did it for the first time, so maybe I missed something in the manufacture. But overall it turned out well, I think.
I will not teach you what and how to do, but simply share my experience.
To make the garden bed, I used:
· Plastic pipe with a diameter of 70 mm;
· Plastic bucket;
· Mesh with cells 5 by 5 cm;
· Dense polyethylene;
· Roulette, metal scissors, pliers;
· Screwdriver or drill, drill;
· Paint in a spray can;
· Thin wire;
· Stones.
Making a vertical bed is not at all difficult, I finished it in about 3 hours.
Step 1.
I took a plastic pipe with a diameter of 70 mm and a length of about 1 meter. He closed the plug tightly and drilled several holes for water with a diameter of 2 mm along the pipe.
Step 2.
In the bottom of the plastic paint bucket, I drilled holes for water drainage with a diameter of about 15 mm.
Step 3.
I painted the bucket with green spray paint so that it was not so scary.
Step 4.
The net I have is 1 meter high, I just have to measure the circumference of the bucket and cut off the same amount of net. I cut off the mesh with a margin to make a small overlap.
Step 5.
Using soft wire, fastened the mesh at the joints.
Here's a design I got.
Step 6.
Cut off the desired piece of polyethylene in height and width. I tried it on, everything fit perfectly.
Step 7.
I set the pipe roughly in the center and filled the bucket with more than half of the stones. They fixed the pipe as I need it and will serve as a drain.
Step 8.
He began to fill the bed with earth. I poured 1 bucket each and tamped it with a stick. He also poured some water so that the earth would settle better.
So I filled it to the very top and filled it with water again.
Here's a bag.
Step 9.
We planted flowers, but we didn't have very many of them, but as it turned out, a whole bunch of flowers would fit on such a bed. The flowers were planted by cutting out a piece of polyethylene.
Now you're done.
He watered through a central pipe with holes, so the ground was saturated with water along its entire height.
The flower garden turned out to be very heavy, about 70 - 80 kg, so moving it is problematic.
Write in the comments if you had any experience of creating such beds and what came of it?
