Start by rolling out your clear packing tape so that the sticky side is facing up; you want a length equal to or longer than your column of air pillows. Place the column of air pillows so that the edge of the plastic meets the center of the packing tape, as demonstrated in the picture. Cut the tape nicely at the end of the air pillows so that it is not visible or a few inches/10cm from the end of the column so that you can use the tap-tab as a hanging device. For a draped vertical garden you don't need to cut the center air pillow.



*You can use other wide tapes but I think clear packing tape is the best choice.

** This is not absolutely necessary depending on how many air pillows you have in the column but it won't hurt...a falling bag of rocks and dirt could hurt.

***After you're done using the packing tape, make a courtesy-tab on the end of the roll so that the next person doesn't have to struggle trying to get a piece.
