Growing vegetables in pots and even vertically on the wall, is an excellent solution to the problem of lack of land for a vegetable garden. I want to share my idea how to make a vegetable garden from a polypropylene woven bag. It's simple and fast. This is a great way to reuse bags and save money. These pots are suitable for horizontal and vertical garden.
Supplies
a polypropylene woven bag, I used 20-24" x 40",
strong thread,
a ruler,
sewing pins,
a felt-tip pen,
scissors,
a sewing machine,
an awl,
tube for automatic watering,
a wooden plank 8 inches long, 0.2 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide,
a sturdy string to hang the pots vertically.

Fold the bag along the lengths.

Measure 2 inches from the side edge, divide the rest into four parts - for four pots. Mark the side borders of the pots with a felt-tip pen.

Unfold the bag and form 4 round pots.
Insert a wooden plank into the pocket from the edge.
For convenient watering when the pots are upright, make holes at the base with an awl and run a tube through all four pots (I used a tube of the medical dropper). Make holes in the tube.

You can now fill the pots with soil and sow / plant vegetables. Drainage is not necessary, as the woven polypropylene of the bag allows excess water to pass through well.
You can arrange the pots in a circle or in a line.
Make a hole in the middle after the wooden plank and pass the rope. Tie the ends. The pots are ready to hang.
