Description

Vertical Vegetables unlocks the secret to maximizing your gardening space by growing upward instead of outward. With this approach, you can double or even triple the harvest from a small garden. In this book, author Amy Andrychowicz introduces the fundamentals of vertical gardening and provides all the essential background knowledge needed to get started.

Amy guides you through building nearly two dozen vertical gardening structures, including trellises, arbors, archways, wall pockets, and towers. While increasing yields per square foot is a major advantage, vertical gardens also add visual appeal. Some of the projects featured in this book are not only functional but also strikingly beautiful as they develop over time.

The book presents a variety of creative designs using different materials, from dimensional lumber and metal rebar to fabric and repurposed everyday items. It also includes lists of plants that are best suited for vertical growing. Whether you have a small urban space or a large backyard, this project-filled guide provides everything you need to grow more food and enhance your outdoor environment.
