Planting Your Tower Garden
This section will tell you all about what plants should go where on your tower.
1. Bottom Row: On the bottom I have had the best success growing my vines. I send them away from the garden as soon as I can. I like to give my vines places to climb and stretch around the garden, this creates a “larger than life” tower garden effect.
2. Second Row: above the vines, I plant my large plants and my cruciferous greens. This is because these larger plants need space to grow. I have noticed that if the larger plants grow toward the bottom the roots do not interfere with everything growing in the garden. They also do not cast shadow on plants below them this way.
3. Third Row: Next I like to plant my Herbs, preferably in the mint family. This is because herbs are versatile. They don’t mind taking a trip up and around something in their way. They also like to “hug” the tower garden and do quite well in this position on the third row.
4. Top Row: On the top I plant all of the lettuce or fast growing plants that I plan to remove and re-harvest. This is because the lettuce grows so fast up here on top, that the roots never mingle with the lower layers. Therefore, you can remove these net cups easily and replace them a few times.
