Growing Towers

Checking out Pinterest this morning I found the cutest idea for a garden tower.

diy garden

Ive been checking out towers to use for growing spaces in my front yard as that place needs to look much better and nicer (curb appeal and all that) than anything I do in the back.  And Ive been wanting to grow things that love to send runners when and where I may not want them (Im talking to you mint & strawberries)

This type of arrangement would be nice in a smallish space for herbs, strawberries or salad mix.

If you decide to so something like this check out your local thrift shops for the planters – I saw loads of terra cotta pots just this week at my local Goodwill.  For the rebar, check out a Habitat-for Humanity Restore if you’ve got them.  Rebar could be found for cheaper than at a Big Box store.  Drawback is you wont have someone to cut one down to size for you or they may not have any.
