But the big question is: How can you start?
If you’re looking to have a space-saving option, here are some tools and ideas:
Frame
The very first thing you need to get started is a frame.
The frame will be the basis for your new garden no matter where you plan to place it. You can make your own in any way that suits your situation, or you can buy ready made ones like these:

Hooks
You can buy a freestanding frame for vertical gardening or one that attaches to the wall. However, one that attaches to the wall can make it hard to move around or remove when you move out.
For a less permanent option try using hooks to hang the frame to the wall.

Fertilizer Injector
Using a fertilizer injector to feed your plants regularly will help you save a lot of time.
When choosing a fertilizer injector, you need to make sure that it is the right size for your frame. Do not use one that is too heavy as it can topple it.

Irrigation System
One of the challenges with growing plants in a vertical garden is irrigation.
To make the task easier, you can install an irrigation system. This will provide the plants with drip irrigation so they are always evenly watered, keeping them green and healthy all year.
Buy an irrigation system with poly tubing and fittings that lock in place. It can be installed across the top part of your garden so the water will drip down slowly.
If you have an irrigation system, it is also ideal to use a propagation timer. This can set your irrigation system to feed the plants regularly when vertical gardening .

Applying mulch to can also prevent dehydration. It slows down decay and works as a compost too.

Just make sure to get started off right by choosing the right tools and having them on hand before you start.
