We are thinking of installing a vertical garden, like the ones by Patrick Blanc eg. Pershing Hall, and were wondering if anyone has an idea of the internal make up of these structures, including materials and irrigation system?

I made hanging "funnel pots" for a hanging strawberry garden. Each pot had a way of hanging another pot from the bottom. I made mine with 2 liter soda bottles. My irrigation system was just a recovery bucket under each string of pots. I would water the top plant with nutrient enriched water and it would drain through each one into the next one. I had to manually pour the water myself, but I thought of making an automated irrigation system with an old blood pump I found at a garage sale and a timer. I never did it, but I'm sure it would work. You can make a collection trough out of a length of 6" PVC cut in half (lengthwise). It could drain into a reservoir container and a pump on a timer could re-distribute the water.

there is not any "vertical backyard requirement", quite you've the quantity of area you've which determines how a lot, and how large in holding with sunlight catching area and directional dealing with of that wall, you are able to advance. In different words in holding with anticipated plant length, you should p.c.. adequate plant life that through the time they're 2/third finished sized, their foilage thoroughly covers the vertical area. you are able to positioned out extra plant life than that yet they are going to grow to be stunted in sized simply by shading one yet another extra. For some plant life that like colour extra or a minimum of no longer finished sunlight numerous hours in a row that is wonderful, yet assume decrease yield. in reality, the proper outcome will be utilising extra dirt at floor element with a common backyard, yet do what you are able to with the area you've, even a niche on a window sill is gigantic adequate to initiate turning out to be *something*.
