Garden Girl TV: Vertical Gardening One(How to Grow Vertically)

Patti Moreno, the Garden Girl, shows you techniques to get more out of limited landspace, by growing up. Check out her website at http://www.gardengirltv.comThi... video is available through closed caption(cc) enjoy in any language.FULL TEXT:Vertical Gardening Part 1As urban gardeners, we have a limited amount of space to grow our vegetables and flowers. What I have done is I have employed verticle gardening.Right here as you can see, I have a variety of different cucumber plants. Now, a cucumber is vining crop, which means that with vertical support like this one, you can train it to grow up and the fruit,Take a look right here, can grow perfectly fine on the vine.Different types of crops that work well in a vertical garden are watermelon and pumpkin. Let us go take a look.Here, as you can see, my pumpkin plants are thriving. Pumpkin plants are also vining crops. Now, in the country, where you have a lot of space, you can just let this grow along the ground, but here in a city environment, we do not have all that space.So, what I have done here is, I put together a dog kennel. This is actually really nifty. It is exactly 4 x 4 so it fits perfectly in your raise beds. And, these vines just slough on themselves eventually. You do not have to continuously train them.Okay, so you can go vining crops on vertical supports, but there are other types of plants that also need support like my heirloom tomatoes here, this are Tiffin Mennonite tomatoes, and it grows to be a huge plant.So what I have done is I have installed this vertical support where the plant has basically grown through the vertical support. I do not even have to train it through; it is growing through on its own.I have my garden pea. These garden peas have pretty much attached on this vertical support on their own, and as you can see, I have a bunch of pea pods growing through. Let me show you how to build one of this, it is really super easy.(Demo)Great, this is nice and sturdy. And, all I have to do is unscrew it from the raise bed and move it anywhere I need it.I am Patti the Garden Girl, thanks for watching.

I'd hit it.

if it looks as if it is going to grow too large to support itself you can always attach a fabric hammock to the support structure and the fruit can sit in that.

This technique becomes extremely helpful when one may or may not have a plethora of useless dead bodies that one may or may not have accumulated over the years.

i use powdered rock dust from Canadian glaciers mountains.. once you have this others are obsolete.and i am a entertainer, even more than a gardener...so i relate to making the stage grow before all else in this clip

Illuminati=ET kin aka gods Ea, dragons, angels/demons, Satan, Pepsi, naga, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefellars etc who rule cults like Freemasonry. Their agenda: continually cull/victimize people via vaccines/other poisons, Codex Alimentarius, carbon taxes, internet 2, WW3 then stage an alien invasion to get a fascist world government/religion with us chipped.

@14CPO sadly I agree =S

@LitCrit101 Actually I've grow a 5 pound pumpkin just holding to the vine. (I'm even showing it in my lastest vid) And it totally grew without touching the ground =)

toddwoodamerican (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I remember reading something about the vines being strong and thick enough to hold them.. something like they thicken and strengthen as the melon gets bigger.. something like that.I would worry more about the strength of the support.. She is using a dog kennel for the heavy stuff. Which is a cool idea really.
