- That's neat.. but where on earth (!) do the plants get the nutrients they require from?Nairn
- Shit like this is what I meant in my stoned 'artist solutions' blog post y'day - if this works, the idea could be rolled out (!) en masse. Imagine flat panelsNairn
- at slight angles, cladding walls and such. Could totalyl change the green wall idea, making it something practical for building cooling and urban healthNairn
- ok, from your second vid - it's better used for the types of plants that thrive in low nutrient environments like tree climbers and such? Shame. Still cool tho!Nairn
- Yeah this is intended for those low-nutrient tropical type plants and mosses.i_monk
- I've just realised I've totally forgotten that hydroponics is a thing. no reason not to add nutrients to the water. Durr.Nairn
- Next Q: how do you prevent the water stagnating and going off? Or do you just empty and re-fill every couple of weeks?Nairn
- There is a drip tray, so I think it's more likely you'll deal with overflow than stagnant water.i_monk
- You def could make a green wall based on this idea, but I suspect commercial options are lighter (plastic substrate) and watering is easier to control.i_monk
