Final Reflections on Vertical Gardening Endeavor – Wrap-up #SoilUp
Let's Talk Vertical Gardening: My Honest Review
Caution: Contains affiliate links and the occasional swear word
Alrighty then, after wrapping up my vertical garden project the other day, I thought it was high time to share my honest thoughts about it.
Take a gander at my vlog for some unfiltered opinions. But in a nutshell, I reckon this project is a thumbs-up! The bloomers and herbs sure do look purty in there!
That being said, I can't help but think the instructions could've been more beginner-friendly. You see, there were times when I felt lost like a sheep without a shepherd. And while I managed to plow my way through, I reckon The Home Depot could've provided a handier map for us building novices.
I'm thinking the materials list needs a bit of a tweak too. Why, you ask? Well, not every building component was listed with the materials - items like lattice, PVC piping, and weed block were only mentioned in the instruction discussion!
And speaking of discussions, don't forget about the tools! A list of needed tools would've come in handy, like a level, drill, table saw, circular saw, and staple gun.
Here's a Sneak Peek of What Could've Made it Better
Boosting Building Instructions
To help out the building novices like me, incorporating materials and tools from The Home Depot could be a game-changer. Here's a rough layout of what might help:
Materials
- Structural materials: Cedar or pine wood for the frame, PVC pipes for trellises, metal brackets for securing the structure to walls, lattice, PVC piping, weed block.
- Planting materials: Various-sized planters, soil and compost, plants, soil, compost.
- Hardware and fasteners: Screws, nails, wall anchors.
Tools

A Shopping List for Novices
For building novices, having a comprehensive shopping list would make the project a walk in the park. With all the building pieces listed together, it becomes a breeze to purchase everything required. Consider creating a checklist that includes all the materials and tools mentioned earlier.

This would help newcomers like myself, especially with the lack of information regarding materials such as lattice, PVC piping, and weed block, in addition to tools like a drill, saw, hammer, measuring tape, level, staple gun, and more.
