Making a Vertical Planter from Drainage Pipe

Vertical planting is a great way to save space and grow more crops and food. In this video I use some drainage pipe to make a vertical strawberry planter.

Brilliant idea for strawberry tower. I think it will look great when the plants fill out a bit. Loved the David Attenborough impression 😂

I'd like to thank you for the really straightforward and helpful videos. They are so useful, and motivational too.

You've done what I do, worry about the birds eating my strawberries and put a bird feeder to attract the birds next to them 😂

Excellent upcycle! So much easier to pick.

Hi. Lesser spotted lol. I was going to suggest a drain pipe, capped at one end with lots of holes drilled into it. You could sink it in the middle and fill it up with water and nutrients, which will leach out. Great idea though 👍 Elaine 🌱

Been down this Rabbit hole a few years ago and it didn't work for me. I hope you have better success. Something I wish I had done was to put a small (drilled) pipe down the centre, filled with gravel to make watering much easier.

Question: will the pipe leach any chemicals into the soil? If so, how will you mitigate to keep the strawberries safe to eat? Also, I expect with a shovel (or other similar implement) you could 'stir' the soil ever few years to refresh the soil the plants are growing in, and you can replace the older plans every couple of years with the baby plants that the plants you have now throw off annually. You wouldn't need to buy many to replace the older plants. Just me thinking out loud.

I am really trying to do much more in the way of vertical growing I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to layer the compost, leaf mould, wood chips, seaweed, compost, kitchen waste ? I might try I think that i have some drain pipes at work. I might use 3/4 recycled plastic board in the bottom and drill drainage holes around the bottom. What do you think.
