Container Gardening on the Patio

ASL Member Founding Member Post #17956 Replies closed

Thought that this page could be of interest . Plastic bottles stacked into a bottle tower can be recycled to set up a vertical kitchen garden at home. The bottle towers are used for container gardening of vegetables and herbs. How to build such a tower is shown in different steps Once on the page CLICK INTO THE VIDEO for the full story. http://www.spain-info.co.uk/gardening/Bottle-Tower-Planting.htm.
If any one does it would be most interested if anyone tries it with Tomato plants. Do give feed back if successful or otherwise.

Must admit have now watched that video three times and am going to give it a try. Just a question can anyone tell me where the best local place is for buying seedling such as lettuce ect. Think i have seen them possible at the Sunday market, what about the local garden centers. Any advice please?

Last Saturday I purchased tomato plant seedlings at the market down near Iceland. They did have others as well, one I think was Celery seedlings, but not sure where to get lettuce plants.

Was in the nursery in the village this morning, they had lots of rather small seedlings, but not lettuce plants. I am giving this idea a go. At the least it will give me nice fresh veg.

Yea Great idea Ian - especially if you don't have much space. I will give this a go - salad days are here now
