Advanced Gardening Techniques for Vertical Gardens

Among the more advanced gardening techniques employed by vertical gardening professionals are the following:

Focused Plant Selection 

A highly focused approach to plant selection yields superior results in terms of both initial and ongoing growth.

Fertigation 

Using a drip irrigation system to distribute essential nutrients to plants in a vertical garden is a very effective way to increase the overall rate of growth. Automating a potentially tiresome manual task will also make it easier to maintain your vertical garden.

Hydroponics 

Growing plants in soilless environments is not a new technique but it has only recently been adopted by vertical gardening specialists in significant numbers.

Aeroponics 

An even more recent development in the world of vertical gardens is aeroponics: growing plants in air or moist environments.

By employing one or more of these advanced gardening techniques, you can encourage more vigorous growth in your vertical gardens. Alternatively, hire a specialist who provides vertical gardening services in your area.

Should You Incorporate Plant Growth Technology?

Whether you should incorporate more recently adopted plant growth technology such as aeroponics or hydroponics will depend on your budget and the level of growth required. Fertigation should always be considered because it automates the application of fertiliser, which is crucial when attempting to accelerate growth.
