Progress

           

 So the weather is getting better here so I could work on the pipes for this vertical garden.

First note to mentioned is use foam-core pipe over solid core pipe. I felt that it would be a good idea to try both foam and solid core pipe, and after using a heat-gun  to heat up the spots I would flatten and flare out I will have to say the foam core did not take much heat to work on with.

A second note build in pairs. I was having trouble trying to keep the pipe from rolling on me while making the slits in the pipe. But if you clamp 2 pipe together then nether will roll.

A good idea is label the planned top and bottom.

Getting started

So after looking at the germination period of the 19 plants we have chosen. I chose the 5 plants that have the longest germination to get stared, by using the damp paper towels to kick start the process (this was done on 20-02-2016).

We're Back

So after EV-250 and I decided that playing ball according to the "Queen's Rules" and realized that their are no real rules. We will most likely be trying new and different things. Looking at Arizona, Nevada, or west Texas to maybe move to but need to come up with a good plan and save money.

First thing we will be trying this year is gardening, but not standard raised bed. We are going to try vertical gardening. I bought seeds today I will be doing some research to better understand how these plants can work together or not. If my calculations are correct then I should be able to grow 30 plants in a rough 1 square foot area.
