One of the most immediate and do -it -yourself systems for the vertical garden is that of the pockets, in which the plants are inserted. They are real felt panels on which pockets are structured, designed specifically to contain various vegetable substances, with different sizes and textures. The pockets are usually made with a humidity -resistant material, so it is possible to apply them on different wall surfaces without the risk of incurring the formation of mold. Alternatively it is possible to choose surface vases, designed precisely for the interiors of the vertical gardens: inside these vases an insulating substrate is applied for the plant. After inserting the plant, the appropriate hooks on the wall apply, which will support the weight of the pot and seedling. On the market you can find containers whose dimensions are varied and different and it is strongly not recommended to resort to the half plastic bottles, which would dry out the roots and would not revive the plant itself.

In some circumscribed cases, if the garden must be built inside a balcony, it is possible to choose pallets, which must be designed as supports for the plants vessels, which will be fixed between a sauce and the next. For this specific type of surface, small plants are recommended that can be easily supported and which can also give small fruits for their cuisine, such as strawberries or cherry tomatoes. 

Faced with all this beauty, you have to deal with the costs, which depend in all respects on the size of your vertical garden. The most purchased panels, that is, the 80x60 cm ones cost about 80 euros, which must be added the cost of the soil and the seedlings, which can change from case to case. It is also true that today there is no shortage of do -it -yourself solutions, in fact on the market you can find many economic and practical solutions to be able to maintain your garden. Finally, thanks to the green thrust of recent times, in some countries the construction of the vertical gardens is encouraged, thanks to important tax deductions designed for a frequent growth of urban green.
