veggie gardens for tight corners
Sometimes little gems turn up on Facebook. This is a veggie patch using guttering. At an angle for drainage up on the fence. Dunno how they block the ends but probably cut a recess. Maybe put holes along the guttering so it self waters.
Ideal for those with small blocks - or dogs that dig!

Great idea! Saw an enlarged version on the idiot box some time ago whereby these large expanses of wall were utilized much in the manner you have shown only it was incorporated into the actual construction of the wall itself. Great example of lateral thinking.

I reckon you could actually make these up in frames, if you were handy with a welder. Vertical garden.
I like the idea very much.

I would think mate they dont block the ends but the way they overlap water from one drops and waters the next one down.

I recon that's on the side of a shipping container, if so it's also a transportable Veggie garden

Maybe not totally blocked, but enough to let the water out without the soil and stuff.kimall wrote:I would think mate they dont block the ends but the way they overlap water from one drops and waters the next one down.

I really like ingenious things like that. Of course it is built on the old idea of terraced agriculture and stuff - but pretty cool nonetheless.

Thats cool. Have you seen the small aquaculture setups? You could filter your fish tank water through the veggies set up like that and have fish and salad for dinner. Steve
Re: veggie gardens for tight corners
Grand idea Steve
Re: veggie gardens for tight corners
Its a form af aquaponics and works really well.
Have a look at http://www.backyardaquaponics.com.au/ or http://www.aquaponics.net.au/
I have just harvested a heap of broccolli off mine while the plants form the same punnet that were put in the dirt garden are not even heading up yet.

Re: veggie gardens for tight corners
This is great ingenuity and very water efficient from my understanding.
Aquaponics is a fantastic concept and this is a great way to utilise it.
Perry and I were discussing his lack of room to impliment Aquaponics but this would be a great solution.

Re: veggie gardens for tight corners
it is also looks like a lot of hydroponic set ups but without a visible nutrient tank.
Once upon a time every village corner had local corner stores selling that gear, aluminium foil in large window wide rolls, growing lights so the newcomers from the West Indies could grow closet herbs.
