interesting diy vertical gardening idea

The Cheap Vegetable Gardener recently did a post with an idea to increase growing area.  Vertical gardening (growing things up rather than out) isn't a new concept.  Most home gardeners do it with trellises, etc. for vining crops all the time.  This idea was unique, though.  Using recycled two liter bottles and plywood, they created a nifty vertical unit that can be placed on a fence.

The water drains from the top to the next highest "pot" helping to conserve a precious resource. While you couldn't grow huge crops in it, one could easily do lettuces, herbs, peas and beans (attach the pot directly to a trellis!), or other small veg with ease.  No need to waste any space, right?
