ABSTRACT:
Vertical Gardens is a garden structure disclosed for producing a vertically oriented garden. It comprises a series of vertical, self contained, individual plant or crop growing containers, with growing orifices located on the exterior of a hexagonal shaped stock, with a hollow bore in the center containing a soilless, organic growth medium. The growing orifices are separated by a series of aeration holes. The plants or crop roots are inserted into the bore through the growth orifices and imbedded in the organic growth medium. An irrigation system of water and nutrients mixture, flows down through the organic growth material, and recycled. The growth containers function to supply controlled air, water, nutrients and minerals and as a support to encourage vertical growth of harvest products.
The individual growth containers, mounted in series, are anchored in an enclosed common base reservoir which is the source of supply and transport of water and nutrients to the plant roots. The number of growth containers, installed in series, is determined by the harvest desired and the growing space available. By combining the number of individual vertical growth containers in a single reservoir base with a single pump and irrigation system encourages economic growth and harvest.
