Home Garden Tree

Hay :)

So I really wanted to make this project before I uploaded it to here, but unfortunately I can’t get all the equipments I need during the covid 19. So the idea is to have a hole garden in your living room. Also sorry once again- I wasn’t able to do that before the deadline of the contest, but I will upload a part two for that, there I explain how to use it even without sunlight.

Let’s start then…

PVC pipe

PVC Y connect part

Grid

Screws

Planks (wood)

The first step- is the legs, we do want it to be stable because... well we want it good, so make sure the legs are strong.

Honestly I planned to buy a metal leg and just plug them into the board (added a photo, and here is something I saw from Ikea).

Board-
you can use any kind of strong material for that any time is not too sensitive to humidity (MDF I don't think is good for that).

If you connect a few planks- I think it is the best, unless you want a smooth look and in that case use a board from a store (you can use MDF with the right protection). About the size of the board, it's up to you because you can make a few "trees" on one table, use it as a coffee table, etc.

Tip- use legs that the screws are hidden in them or assembled from the bottom.

Use a PVC end plug (I forgot to add in the sketch), here is a link for few I saw on the internet: 1, 2, 3 (obviously you can find it in a store near to your home). The only thing that important is that the had of the plug will be smooth.

With a screw we will connect the plug to the board. Using one screw or two screws; is up to the function that you want to give the "tree". If you want the ability to spin it use one, either way use two or more because it's safer.

Start from the bottom to the top.

The way we do it is using a pipe, grid (not have to), and the Y plug. Between one Y plug to another we don't need to see anything!

If you using a grid after any level you do put the soil in (not all the way), and then continuo

use the video here to understand:

Done, now just put your plants, I recommend using herbs (rosemary, mint, basil, etc.) than really vegetables.

If you did it- please show me, because it seems like is going to take time until I can do it by myself.
