The vertical garden here that Joe Swift built was soon a mess. Don't try it at home! He totally over planted it for the cameras (against the off-camera advice of his horticultural expert), the hose system didn't work (water pressure even with a pump was inadequate) and my neighbour Ben and I had to dismantle it after a few months and replant it with half the density of planting. Watering from the top partially works but cut gullies so I enlarged the plant pockets and now water from the front.
oh my GOD i could plant something in the horizontal space between his teeth! i'm SO sorry for taking a cheap shot like that... i'm going to hades, i know. gosh, don't smile so often with teeth like that, old boy. (1:10) i'm going to get an orthodontic consult for this poor chap. he's an amazing gardener though.
@loytube1 Stop being a trol. It makes no difference what his teeth look like. I'm sure you're not perfect looking either. No one asks you to go and die. Come to think of though, it's not a bad idea
I love the project. I was thinking how you might recycle an old mattress this way. Using roofing paper on the back so the water doesn't all leak out. Not sure if it would work but it's worth a try.

So your planting edibles in a painted wood system that has constant moisture? Why would anyone eat anything grown like this, in a bed of toxic waste?

Awesome - I guess that these 'bookshelves' could be made from old wooden pallets and other waste materials - I wonder if anyone has used car tyres?
