Which way is up? Vertical gardening for the horizontally challenged

Don't have any space to plant a flower bed or vegetable garden?  Don't dispair, vertical gardening is here.  Vertical gardening can give you the space you need when you don't have any.  There are many items you can use to build a vertical garden.  These include items that have totally different uses.    For instance, take one of those shoe holders that hang over a door and hang it on an outside wall, filling each pocket with soil and plant different types of lettuce in each row.  Recycle a pallet by standing it vertically with some extra wood for a base, add some screening or landscaping fabric to make pockets in between each slat then fill one side with produce and the other with flowers.  Gutters also make great vertical planters, hang them from a balcony railing, or on the side of an outside wall or make hangers out of them.  They make great containers for strawberries, radishes or lettuce, just to name a few.
