The Pallet Garden is filling out nicely! But I have encountered a problem.. It drinks a lot of water and the access runs down the front and off of the balcony. It turns out that people live below me, imagine that! I wasn't thinking and attempted to water it after work and got yelled at. With all of my other plants I have trays under them to catch the excess water, but with the pallet I have no way of doing that. Because it is vertical I actually have to let water run down the front to soak into the soil. Now I am kind of wishing I had set up some sort of watering system with pipes. Too late now though! For now I am just going to stick to watering at night or early in the morning. Any ideas on how to make some kind of tray for under the pallet that isn't going to take away from the look of it would be greatly appreciated.
The Morning Glory vines are already starting to take to the trellis! I came home from work and noticed that two of the plants had attached themselves and another two look like they are getting close. I tried to give one a nudge in the right direction but it wasn't having that. I wonder how long it will take to cover the trellis?
