Imagine cutting fresh basil or dill to flavour that roast salmon you just cooked; you reach for your own vertical herb garden and snip a little bit just before dinner. Yes, we’re just as drooling as you are!<\/p>\n

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as enjoying your own harvest, is there? Not to mention it’s a natural, healthy way of doing things, and it’s something many of us have always dreamed of.<\/p>\n

But getting enough space to have a garden in the city is almost impossible. So, a vertical garden might be the perfect solution. Beyond just being a visual delight, a vertical garden can be a smart and productive way to grow your own herbs, leafy greens, or even strawberries \u2014 right where you live.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why Start a Vertical Garden?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Growing your herbs and vegs in a vertical garden is more than just a Pinterest-worthy project \u2014 it\u2019s a fun and rewarding idea to bring nature into your home, even if your space is tight. Still thinking about it? It has many advantages!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Space-saving:<\/strong> Ideal for flats, balconies, and even indoor corners with good light.
\n\u2022 Aesthetic value:<\/strong> A green wall adds freshness and life to any space.
\n\u2022 Productivity:<\/strong> You can grow herbs, salad greens, certain types of small fruit or vegetables, or edible flowers \u2014 perfect for home cooks!
\n\u2022 Well-being:<\/strong> Taking care of plants is great for mental health and relaxation.<\/p>\n

Of course, to make your vertical garden a success, your plants will need more than just light and water.<\/p>\n

Urban setups tend to have limited root space, which means fewer nutrients are available to plants. That\u2019s why using a liquid, certified organic fertiliser<\/strong> like VGN<\/strong> is highly recommended \u2014 especially if you\u2019re growing edibles for yourself or your family<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And if you’re growing for self-consumption, what you feed your plants matters just as much as where you grow them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

What You\u2019ll Need to Build Your Vertical Garden<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Creating a vertical garden is easier than it seems. Whether you\u2019re hanging planters on a wall or building a tiered structure with pallets or shelves, the basic supplies are simple \u2014 and totally customisable.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to get started:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2705 1. A Structure or Frame<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can buy a ready-made vertical planter<\/strong> or DIY one using:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Wooden pallets
\u2022 Hanging shoe organisers
\u2022 Stacked pots or modular boxes
\u2022 Wall-mounted shelves or trellises<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just make sure the structure is stable and allows for good drainage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2705 2. Containers or Pockets<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Use pots, fabric grow bags, recycled containers, or built-in pockets. Choose breathable materials, if possible, especially for herbs or salad greens \u2014 they help avoid soggy roots.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s a big plus if you can reuse materials<\/strong>, such as plastic bottles. In the image below, they have used a pallet as a frame and plastic bottles as containers and just look at the great result!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u2705 3. Good Quality Potting Soil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Urban gardens are only as healthy as their soil. Go for a light, nutrient-rich potting mix<\/strong> that retains moisture but drains well, for that purpose Janeco-Light-Mix<\/strong> stands out.<\/p>\n

You can even mix in coco coir for improved structure and better water retention. If you live in warm climates, in this case Bi Grow Mix<\/strong><\/a> works wonders.<\/p>\n

\u2705 4. Watering System<\/strong><\/p>\n

A simple watering can work for small setups, but for larger vertical gardens, consider:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Drip irrigation
\n\u2022 Self-watering planters<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Make sure the top rows don\u2019t hog all the water \u2014 gravity does its thing!<\/p>\n

\u2705 5. Organic Fertiliser<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is where many first-time growers go wrong \u2014 vertical gardens often have limited root volume<\/strong>, which means plants run out of nutrients fast. That\u2019s why liquid fertilisers like VGN by Atami<\/strong> are ideal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Why VGN?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Edible plants need a steady supply of nutrients to grow strong and tasty.
And if you\u2019re going to eat them, it makes perfect sense to use certified organic fertilisers.<\/p>\n

Atami\u2019s VGN \u2013 VEGANIC Fertilisers<\/strong> are perfect for this type of garden because:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Are made from natural ingredients – Certified as Input for Organic Farming<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Easy to apply with a watering can or sprayer
\n\u2022 They\u2019re safe for food-growing at home
\n\u2022 Designed for soil<\/strong> and universal potting mixes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

VGN fertilisers also support a thriving soil life<\/strong>, thanks to their richness in diverse organic molecules.
The higher the content of complex organic compounds, the more food there is for beneficial soil microbes \u2014 leading to healthier plants, fragrant flowers and flavourful fruits. Taste and feel the difference for yourself!<\/p>\n

Which products are in the team?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 VGN 5-2-2:<\/strong> Helps your greens grow lush and healthy, with an extra nitrogen boost
\n\u2022 VGN 2-2-4:<\/strong> Adds more potassium for strong, vigorous growth
\n\u2022 VGN 1-4-4:<\/strong> Encourages impressive blooms, with a focus on phosphorus and potassium
\n\u2022 VGN CalMag:<\/strong> Delivers calcium and magnesium for firm cell walls, better cell production and photosynthesis<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Combine all four products and adjust according to your plant\u2019s needs \u2014 consult our online grow guides<\/strong><\/a>: simple and effective!<\/p>\n

If you’re growing food, the fertiliser you choose matters \u2014 and VGN helps you grow cleaner, healthier, better-tasting crops.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What to grow in an urban container garden<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Well, this just depends on your climate, the amount of sun your space gets and the space you are allowed to use!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry if you have a very limited space or not too much sun, there are loads of options that thrive on balconies, terraces and patios.
The key is choosing the right varieties for your local climate and light conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Very sunny spots<\/strong> (6 hours or more of direct sunlight a day)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you live in a mild or warm climate and your balcony gets sun most of the day, these plants will love the abundant light:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Cherry tomatoes, small peppers and baby carrots<\/strong>
Perfect for larger, deeper pots. They need plenty of light but reward you with a generous harvest.
\u2022 Strawberries<\/strong>
While they tolerate some shade, they\u2019ll produce sweeter, juicier fruit in full sun. Ideal for smaller spaces, can be perfectly grown in a pot or planter!
\u2022 Mediterranean herbs like rosemary, oregano and thyme<\/strong>
These sun-lovers thrive in direct light, and their flavour intensifies when grown in full sun.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Partially sunny spots<\/strong> (3\u20135 hours of direct sun a day)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is common on east- or west-facing balconies. Great options for these conditions include:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, rocket and chard<\/strong>
They\u2019re not too fussy about light. They prefer cooler temperatures and do really well in autumn and winter, even with fewer hours of sun.
\u2022 Chives, parsley and coriander<\/strong>
They enjoy a bit of protection from strong sunlight \u2013 ideal for partial shade, especially in summer.
\u2022 Edible flowers like nasturtiums and pansies<\/strong>
They add colour, attract pollinators, and some varieties are edible too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 Important:<\/strong> These areas are not ideal for tomatoes or sun-loving fruits, but they are perfect for leafy greens and herbs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Bright corners, but without direct sunlight or indirect light<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If your space only gets a few hours of filtered or indirect sunlight (like an inner courtyard), don\u2019t worry \u2013 there\u2019s still hope. Try:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mint<\/strong>
Loves humidity and partial shade. Best kept in a separate pot as it tends to spread.
\u2022 Watercress, shade-tolerant arugula (rocket) and some spinach varieties<\/strong>
These can cope with low light, especially when temperatures aren\u2019t too high.
\u2022 Microgreens<\/strong>
A quick, easy win to jazz up any recipe: mustard, radish or basil sprouts harvested young \u2013 perfect for low-light spots.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Easy crops for beginners (and with good yields!)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you’re just starting out, we recommend combining some of these hardy and productive varieties:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lettuce (fast cycle and good in almost any location)
\u2022 Arugula
\u2022 Chives
\u2022 Basil
\u2022 Strawberries
\u2022 Radishes
\u2022 Nasturtiums (edible flowers and leaves)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With VGN 5-2-2 and VGN 2-2-4 from the early stages of growth, you are assured of a more abundant harvest. With VGN 1-4-4 you will get plants, flowers and fruits with better aroma, colour and flavour.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

To wrap up\u2026<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Growing your own at home isn\u2019t just possible \u2013 it can be easy, rewarding, and seriously tasty. All you need to do is:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2022 Choose the right crops based on your space and how much sun you get.
\u2022 Use pots or containers with enough room and good drainage.
\u2022 Go for a light, fertile, living substrate.
\u2022 And of course\u2026 feed your plants with a fertiliser that matches your growing ideas.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9a If you\u2019re all about homegrown, healthy food and looking after the planet, VGN has your back!<\/strong>
Certified organic, sustainable plant-based liquid fertilisers \u2013 and they couldn\u2019t be easier to use. What more could one ask for?<\/p>\n
