Intro: Portable pvc vertical garden

A practical and economic solution to build our own vertical garden inside of our houses

Step 1:
You gonna need:
- Pvc tube with a 11cm diameter (or near) and 60cm (length).
- 2lts plastic bottle
- Saw
- Drilling machine
- Paper tape
- Tape-measure
- Utility knife
- 1 Bolt and screw (about 0.5cm diameter)
- Marker

Step 2:
Mark 20 and 40 cm in your pvc tube with the paper tape.

Step 3:
Make two cuts until the middle of the tube.

Step 4:
Heat up the tube in your stove. Be careful, you dont need to place the tube very close to the flame.
Concentrate the heat in the zone above the cuts.

Step 5:
Push the heated zone inside, making two apertures ( creating the space where you will put your plants).

Step 6:
Make two holes in the back of the tube.
One in the top and the other one in line with the lowest cut (see in the next image how it should look).

Step 7:
The top hole serves to hang the tube on the wall.
The one lined up with the last aperture serves to hang the plastic bottle (which will function as a earth deposit-see next step).

Step 8:
Cut the 2lt plastic bottle, as shown in the picture. It should have the same height as the bottom earth container (about 20cm).

Step 9:
Make a hole in the bottle (about 2cm below the cut). The hole should be big enough to fit the screw-see next image.

Step 10:
The screw will unite the tube with the half bottle (that shall be filled with gardening soil).

Step 11:
Unite screw and thread.

Step 12:
The bottle cap should be near the end of the tube

Step 13:
For a better aesthetic, paint the vertical garden with a spray can (preferably, use low pressure acrilic paint).

Step 14:
Ready to be filled up with gardening soil and plants of your choice. If you are going to keep it inside your home, i recommend herbs like mint, peppers, thyme,etc.
