Vertical Gardening - Triptych




Three 2 ft. X 2 ft. vertical succulent boxes hanging on a North-facing wall.  This location gets about two to three hours of indirect morning sunlight.  The boxes are removed from the wall for hose watering, using a diffuser nozzle, about every 5 days in summer, less frequently in cooler months.  For panels like these, built using a wood frame - soil - wire mesh construction, this size, 2' X 2', is about as large as you can go due to practicality of watering and soil compaction issues that will hamper the sustainability of larger panels.
