I bought some 5gal buckets and lids, food grade caulk, pump, piping, spray jets, and about 90 1" 45deg elbows and ent to work. I didn't have any plans per say, just looked at the different ways people were making vertical gardens and made my own. Texas actually isn't that great for large scale outdoor food production since it gets so hot. A lot if plants burn. I am going to try some cold weather crops eventually though.
