One of the perks of having a small, constricted, cement terrace for a backyard can be to experiment with vertical gardening. This is an amazing and practical idea, not to mention an outlet for creativity and frustration, by utilising wall space for a greener use. I am besotted with this concept of design and my neighbour has already latched onto it by constructing a herb patch that sits on his brick wall. My neighbour has about 15 different herbs and greens growing that he uses for cooking and when he doesn't need the fresh herbs he just dries them and stores for whenever he wants. This is such an innovative way to use a troubled area like he has for not only use, but beauty and saving a few extra dollars. The trick is to use plants that grow in less soil terrain, like herbs. So those who are thinking to grow a tree sideways would be the next step...think again.The vertical garden is very efficient and aids in lowering energy consumption, both in winter by protecting the building from the cold and in summer by providing a natural cooling stystem.
Straight up!
