oh my god, how great and amazing!!!

Thanks, I've had this now 18 months- the wall and floor just get more and more lush

Good Question- As this is an addition, it was build with this in mind. The plants are backed with heavy duty PVC, the wall is cement board. Everything drains out under the foundation. All is cool!

That is so beautiful. Too bad I don't have a sunroom. However, I do have a front porch and do have it full of plants.

Well done. I've just finished 6 of these walls in my house. I'm doing an attempt to make a similair system that can be used by the indoor farmers. I can grow plants over a meter in lenght in my system. Not only the surface type of plants. My system also gives 12 liters of medium for each plant. I am puting the plants in wright now. when it's finished ill post it on Youtube to. Have a nice day !

its a wonderful idea, but how are you dealing with the humidity? i would think that might become an major problem with sheet rock or any metal....hmm
