Read Seeing RED – my vertical garden (Part 1)
Further to my previous post, here are more details on how the fittings work in my version of vertical garden (above).
The 105 brackets on the board are spaced 2 ins/5cm apart. They are screwed into the board using self tapping screws.
2 brackets are fixed onto the sides of the food can, also 2 ins/5cm apart(I think 2 is better than 1 in this case, as the can will be more secure). With brackets the same distance apart, the can can be fixed or moved to any part of the board.
A photo of the inside of the pot, with holes made at the bottom for water to flow out. I have used rather long screws, but you may want to use shorter ones that will not get in the way.
Some of my design considerations are aesthetic. For example, I have used 105 brackets on the board (LOL because I’m obsessive, and I like the look of them all lined up on the board) but fewer brackets will still be effective. My brackets are also 2 ins/5cm apart horizontally, but you may want to vary this based on the size of your pots.
Thanks for reading.

Oh, that was good to see!!! I am thinking I may be able to drill a board like this into a section of my screenroom...the only trouble is I would need it to face outward towards the sun, and my room may be too deep! Will have to spend some time thinking about it!!! This was a really neat project!
Super! Thank you very much, Evelyn. You are amazing!

You've given me so many ideas on variations I could try with a vertical garden. Thanks again.
@Julie and UG: Have fun!
To my surprise, this is very wonderfully done. Packed of artistic value and quality.
You should submit this for competition:)
I love your passion in gardening and design where these two merge into one.
Keep it up, I am very proud of you:)
@Yoon See, Thank you for your kind remarks *I'm beaming*
