Post #6180684

I posted a pic of my vertical box garden on another thread and now there have been quite a few requests for a little more information.

It's so simple that I think a couple of pictures would probably answer most questions. Basically it is 2 4x4 posts set into 18" deep holes 6' apart. 3 boxes 6' long were made from 2x8's. There are 3 1 1/2" diameter holes covered with hardware cloth in each box for drainage. Short lengths of 4x4 were notched and screwed to the up-right posts. The boxes sit on those and can be slid in and out so they can be staggered to catch the sunlight. It's a real space saver for me!
