Wait a moment and try again. Vertical gardens are generally easier to maintain than a normal garden. Physically, working at eye level will be easier than having to bend down. Plus, the fact that your plants are in containers means you'll have to spend less time fighting pests and diseases.
We all have big dreams for our gardens. But there's no point in trying to build something that's impossible to maintain. It will only look good for the first few weeks, and then it will become rebellious and careless. Vertical gardens are generally easier to maintain than a regular garden or other types of green walls, such as a roof garden.
Many interior solutions can be maintained without the use of stairs, so working at eye level can be easier than bending down. The fact that your plants are in pots also makes it much easier to deal with pests, diseases, and even weeds, which can be time-consuming items to maintain a normal garden. I am a proud owner of a compact and productive garden, and I am passionate about teaching people how to make the most of smaller backyard gardens. Matching plants to the location of your garden will determine how easy it is to keep your garden vertical.

Fast-growing varieties, such as Leylandii and Photinia, soon get out of control and begin to give deep shade over the garden.
The size and scale of your vertical garden will be a big factor contributing to the amount of time you will need to spend maintaining the plants and the automated hydroponic system that make up the composition of your vertical garden. All vertical gardens require an automated irrigation and feeding system called hydroponic systems. So why not make managing your garden easier? You can save time on garden maintenance by taking steps to achieve a lower maintenance garden. In most vertical gardens, due to the small bed size of the pockets involved, fertilization is done a little more frequently than in soil-based gardens.
Building a garden and adding structures to it (a fence, trellises, a polytunnel or a greenhouse) is hard and laborious work. Gardening is quite difficult for beginners, as it requires some knowledge and can sometimes be physically exhausting. Rain can't always be trusted, so if you have the means, a drip irrigation system is a plus for an orchard.
