DIY Vertical Gardening: Recycled Pop Bottle Garden Tower
Vertical gardens may not solve world hunger but growing edible plants from seed to food is a small step toward understanding our role in food justice and food sovereignty.
Recycled Pop Garden Towers are a great way to vertically grow shallow rooted edible plants like herbs, lettuce, strawberries, chives and lots of other things without spending much time or money.
