Well shucks! Aint nothing to this pitchur posting. If I had known that, I would have done it before. The above photo shows how 116 plants can be grown on the 4x4 sq. ft. base. Five pots each on each corner post with twenty plant sites on each post equals 80 plants. Info on that vertical growing system can be found at www.theezgro.com. In the center of the base are 4 stacks of stack-a-pot systems with 3 pots per stack and with 3 plant sites per pot. Thats another 36 plant sites and brings the total to 116 plants. The little stack-a-pots come with a chain so they can be hung from the live oak tree in the background this summer.
Here is another shot of my backyard kingdom showing another single mounted pole loaded with zinnias from last summer. If none of ya'll aint done went and tried one of these vertical growing systems before, you all should orta give it a consider. As you can see from the zinnia pole, they will handle even large bushy plants like the zinnias..
You have a lot of space there. I'm jealous !!!!
Deer country gardens inside dog pens that are 6 ft high by 7 wide and 13 ft long. It is amazing how much you can grow in these things while the deer just look and cry. One pen has the remains of sunflowers planted too late to do very good and sweet peas planted in the same pots so they can climb the sunflower stalks. Sunflowers were kind of stunted due to late planting but they will provide a pole for the sweet peas anyway.
In the other pen is 4 poles of the Verti-gro system, enough for 80 plant sites. Fertilized/water is automatically pumped from the 32 gallon trash can water tank at the end of the storage building. This system will put out a tremendous amount of vegetables throughout the year especially plants that mature in 30 to 45 days.
Love it. Great protection !!!

Hi,
I too grow some bush beans in a vertical garden.
I want to grow strawberries in the vertical garden system.
What variety of strawberry do you grow? Do you over winter them?
I have been looking at a variety that produces a crop the first year.
Here is a pictrue of my vertical bush bean gardens.

Ah Ha!! Its good to meet someone else thats on the up and up when it comes to gardening.:-) I count 90 plant sites on your agrotowers. You evidently like beans. How many bean plants per plant site? They shoud be spectacular when they get full grown. Would like to see some more photo's later on.
This is my first year at growing strawberries and I havent studied up on them much. But for first year production, I think you need the type called everbearing. Maybe someone will chime in here and eddicate us.
