Turn an Old Shoe Organizer into a Vertical Garden

GreenUpgrader has found yet another crazy-brilliant way to grow lots of food, even with a yard the size of a postage stamp. Instructables member pippa5 realized that a shoe organizer would  not only give her more space to garden, but would keep cats and other animals out of her plants and eliminate the need to bend over.

All you need to get started is a shoe organizer, curtain rod, hooks, soil, plant seeds and a piece of wood to keep the base of the organizer off the wall. You can also put a trough-style planter underneath it to catch drips.

Simple, cheap, brilliant.
