Description
A multi-storey garden is a space-saving method of vertical farming that utilizes stacked layers to grow vegetables, fruits and herbs. It’s a great way to maximize production in areas with limited space, like balconies, rooftops, or even indoors. One such structure occupies a space of 4 to 6 square feet and can accommodate between 120 and 130 plants on a six-inch spacing, depending on the type of vegetable and fruit planted.
Benefits
Increased productivity: By using vertical space, you can grow more plants in a smaller area.
Water conservation: The layered structure can help to minimize evaporation, reducing the need for watering.
Improved pest control: Because the plants are closer together, it’s easier to spot and deal with pests and diseases.
Year-round gardening: Multi-storey gardens can be used indoors or in greenhouses
