A fun project with kids, admitedly a little ugly at the beginning but it's coming into its own. There's an upcycled bunk bed ladder supporting the bottles. Tie on with twine (or secure with zip ties if you married an IT guy with tons of them). Expanded clay rock in the mix lightens this up. Quail manure compost is always a plus ;)

Heads up: cut edges might be too sharp for very little kids but seeing the roots grow and assessing water needs is fun.

Happy Spring!
Love to see what you're up to vertical gardening wise.
