How wonderful to have your own garden. And preferably close to home. It serves as a stable source of eco-friendly products that can be obtained for a small amount of money. But what if you don't have enough space to grow them?





Editorial "Site" I'm going to tell you the story of writer and environmental activist Jill Redwood, who, in the same situation, has been enjoying the harvest from his garden for 30 years. And pay attention, vertical bed! This is its originality and novelty.





Man uses a system developed by Ghent University botany professor Willem van Kotem.

What will it take to build it? First of all, your desire to do something creative and useful. We also need regular plastic bottles.

Yeah, yeah, now, instead of throwing out plastic bottles, you'll find them a great use. To construct flatbedFollow our simple instructions!

You'll need it.

• 7 plastic bottles per 1.5 liters (two of them must be corked)
• shears
• wire
• bottle-top

Progress of work

1. Cut the bottom of the first bottle. Above and below, make two holes in its side so that they are opposite each other. Attach the cropped bottle to the net with a wire cork down. And fill it with good fertile soil.
   
   
   
   
2. Do the same with the second bottle, then insert it into the first cork down, after drilling a small hole in it. And just like the first, fasten it firmly to the grid with a wire. Repeat the same with the next three bottles. You should make a pyramid out of bottles.
   
   
   
   
3. Cut the sixth bottle to half and do not fill. It will serve as a funnel. And in the circumcised seventh pour water.
   
   
   
   
4. You can add some sand to it, which will settle and act as a filter. So you can saturate the necessary amount of moisture all levels of the vertical bed.
   
   
   
   
5. System ready! Now make small oval or rectangular holes in the side of the bottles. Put seeds in them. If you do everything right, wait for the harvest.

You can forget about weeds and parasites. They don't belong here. This design is very convenient and simple! Only improvised materials, your initiative and useful editorial advice "Site" That’s what you need to make your dream come true.
