Has anyone successfully grown garlic vertically before?

With garlic needing 9 months prior to harvest, I’m thinking of buying one of this as a dedicated spot for it instead of sacrificing one of my deeper raised garden beds. It’s also more cost effective than setting up another raised garden beds but I’m just not sure if it’s going to work out. Appreciate any help!

I’m not sure why but I cannot seem to grow bush green beans in my garden. They are so prone to pests?

Everyone says they are so easy but my green beans keep getting decimated with spider mites and thrips. I thought it was just a variety problem so I’m growing 4 different kids and again it is being attacked with every single pests. I’ve successfully grown pole beans in the same raised bed but somehow bush beans just keeps dying on me. I’ve been spraying with neem oil and re-spraying to catch different stages of the pest (top and bottom leaves) but can’t seem to get them under control. Should I just cut them all down and accept my loss? Anybody else who is running with same issues?

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the advice. Looks like I have quite a few pests here. Going to try insecticidal soap along with blasting these beans with water. Will cut my losses if that doesn’t work out.
