My wife likes to email me links to things I should build for her.
Usually they are really great ideas, and she has a good eye for picking out useful things that will look nice around the house.
Every now and then she hits on something I really like and this post that she shared with me was one of them.

This hanging garden is great for preppers because we can grow more food in a smaller space. I’ve been studying more about vertical gardening and I think I’ll try it this next year. Having space for a garden luckily isn’t a problem where we live, but a more compact garden could be much easier to water and care for!
Unfortunately I haven’t had time to put together one of my own yet – hopefully I will soon. But I did do an experiment with used tin cans on a section of fence. Yes the plants in the cans are just weeds, but this is a great way to grow you herbs. And if you water from the top the water can drip down to the can below! Less watering and less wasted water.
