Insomnia makes you want to be productive. When I can't sleep, I usually watch home improvement or cooking videos on Youtube and a vertical garden has always been on top of my list. Since Reg is out this Sunday, I decided to just go for it.
After having lunch with my family, Camille and I didn't have anywhere to go. I told her we can check out QC Circle because I've read somewhere that I can buy plants there at a low cost. I was also in search of the wire mesh which will hold all my planters. The one in Wilcon costs Php850+ for a single piece! I needed 4 pcs., so no thanks. Haha.
Entrance to QC Circle is only Php15/car. There was only 1 store selling the wire mesh. Initially, she gave it to me for Php250/pc but I haggled until she gave it to me for Php150. I also bought my planters there for Php10/pc.
The stall beside that was selling herbs for Php35/pc but I was able to ask for discount as well. I bought 2 pots of 6 different herbs! Total I paid is Php350 plus Php100 for 2 pots of Rosemary from another store.
On the way home, we bought concrete nails from Ace Hardware too.
Transferring the plants was easy but tedious. You just need to tear the black plant bag and transfer. Make sure you don't cut any of the roots. Wear gloves if your hands are sensitive. Beware of earthworms for newbies!
We nailed the wire mesh horizontally so the sun can reach the plants better.
Here's the finished product!
