Bloody hell! I can't let my wife see this post as I already need a damn machete to get into my living room! LOL!
The biggest thing to remember, if you use pallet wood to DIY, is to make sure the pallets are stamped "HT", for heat treated wood. I'd consider these, but hoping to buy my own place this next year, and would then have the "fun" of moving them from the rental. MUCH easier to move potted veggie plants, imho.
Using vertical spaces makes good sense, particularly in urban and suburban environments where horizontal space may be limited. Exterior vertical plantings can be used in hot climates to keep the house cooler, and make use of what is frequently unused space Milk crates, lined with geo textile, and braced with wooden struts would be a cheap option....thought should be given to irrigation so that the watering and fertilising could be handled efficiently and effectively.
I have looked into vertical grow walls. They would be nice in my barn (right behind the wood burning stove) so that I can grow forage for animals and greens for humans, year-round. I have seen plans that use gutters, PVC pipe, and VERY expensive manufactured units. Some use soil, but I'm interested in hydro. That way I can grow crops in a protected environment year-round and out of sight.
