RE: How to make a UPB Vertical Garden | ... recycling plastic bottles to UPB Vertical Gardens

Great tutorial!
Question? How often would you have to change out the soil or do you use organic fertilizers or compost teas or something?
Does the nutrients wash out of the top bottle into the bottom ones?
How long have you been using your bottle garden for?
I love that you can just hang them on a wall and grow in a very limited space!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks very much @porters and the farming is 100% organic with me adding more compost and organic manure to the soil as months pass by. Our goal is to promote organic farming in these plastic bottles and i wish those replicating can do thesame.
The nutrients wash out from one bottle into the other and the good news is that you can collect all the liquid with nutrients at the end of the last bottle and use it to re-water the crops again and again. Check out this video i made that talks about the benefits of UPB Vertical Gardens: https://steemit.com/fundition-f31aejsby/@thegreens/59u9gl77

Good information there! Love that it's all organic!
Great idea for folks with limited space!
thanks for sharing!
