Choosing the right setup for vertical gardening is really important.

You might want to try using light potting mixes along with some compost to make sure your plants get enough nutrients. Make sure the soil is deep enough for the roots of the plants you picked.

Vertical gardens lose moisture faster than flat beds so you need to water them more effectively. Drip irrigation systems work well because they keep the soil moist without using too much water. Make sure your system can drain well so water doesn't collect and lead to root rot.

Vertical gardens that are modular or mobile can fit well in tight areas.

Being able to adjust can really improve how healthy the plants are and how much they produce.

Vertical gardening makes the most of small areas and adds a nice touch to the look of a city by introducing plants and a bit of nature.
