A Vertical Garden From Germany

This is a vertical garden (aka living wall, green wall) from Germany. Note the larger size individual planter boxes. They are large enough to accommodate plants growing in clay pebble hydroculture, which is what this company does.

The boxes could also be soil-based sub-irrigated planters (SIPs) to grow vegetables.

The system as shown is most probably not priced for the consumer market, but who knows what it could be with widespread consumer acceptance and volume production. For the time being it is a design well within the capabilities of DIY PVC pipe construction.

Nice design. Although the vertical garden appears to be planter boxes on a rack. I think an improvement would be a system to recirculate water to make it hydroponic.
