Vertical plant growing systems are an epic idea for arthritic gardeners. No need to get down on your knees and crawl around on the ground. They require a limited amount of stooping and bending depending on how high your vertical plant growing system is off the ground and weeds are pretty much non existent.

They come in units that are freestanding, hang from a wall or hang from a hook or ceiling. Some units are even self watering.

Vertical Gardening Systems

Indoor/Outdoor Vertical Gardening Wall Systems

These vertical wall garden planters are perfect for people who have trouble bending and stooping. When you install the planters you can place them at whatever height is comfortable for you.

The wall flower pots are lightweight so you can easily mount them on walls and balconies. They are awesome for small vegetables, herbs and flowers.

The self watering system means less work for you! A nine foot hose will connect to any standard tap and waters the six top pockets at once. The water then drips on down to the next row and then moves down to each succeeding row. Some people who reviewed the product said that the watering system didn’t seem to work quite as well as they would like. The water didn’t seem to flow evenly. The manufacturer responded that the angle of each individual planter needs to be adjusted so that the water flows from one planter to the next. Sounds like this is a trial and error kind of thing.

These vertical wall garden planters also come in a pack of 6 and a pack of 9 pockets if you don’t need this large of an area. Or, you can purchase these smaller units if you want to add on to the larger system.

Vertical 5 Tier Stackable Planter

This stackable planter has a unique design that allows you to stack the tiers. Each layer has four pots and stacks in a way that keeps good air circulation around the roots. You only need to water the top two layers because the pots are designed so that the water drains through from layer to layer. The base tray collects any excess water. Then you just drain off any excess water.

It comes in ten different colors and comes with three nice little garden tools. There are five different sizes of tiers you can order. You can stack anywhere from three to seven tiers. Four all-directional wheels are included that allow you to move the planter. It will glide effortlessly across any smooth surfaces.

This a great planter for anyone who does not have a lot of room. Also great for people who can’t get down on the ground, but still want to garden.
