Here\u00a0is what I used as\u00a0the hanging pots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These containers once came in different colors and were more oval, as you can see in my wall. (I also used green ones for a different area of the balcony).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I actually like this new shape better, but they don\u2019t come with a hole in the bottom anymore (you can easily drill one though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the frame I used some aluminum tubes leftover from an art installation, but you can buy the rod to hang them from IKEA as well. Or be creative with the materials you have in hand!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below\u00a0a picture of the vertical wall, flanked by beans and tomatoes, and my friend Ivan enjoying the urban jungle. (The wooden bench is also a balcony DIY project I plan\u00a0to write about.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an IKEA hack. You can easily\u00a0build your own vertical wall for growing plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":212,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[16,38,11,44],"class_list":["post-211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy","tag-green","tag-ideas","tag-small-spaces","tag-urban"],"aioseo_notices":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall.jpg",1024,1024,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall-768x768.jpg",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall.jpg",790,790,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall.jpg",1024,1024,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/vertical-wall.jpg",1024,1024,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Lenara","author_link":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/author\/lenara_0zhsjz\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"This is an IKEA hack.
