vertical garden, vegetal wall / fense from recycled wood

Hi
here's the idea: make a living wall that will be used as ocultation (hide trash can)

the equipment used:

-the structure of a wooden bed (recovery)
-A sheet (Idont now how to name this, I'm french (size: 20 cm more than the channel width, 2.5 times its height, choose a green or camouflage color)
-a stapler
-4 wheels
-compost
-time

the idea is not mine, I found this site: http://tumbleweedtraveller.blogspot.fr/2011_03_01_archive.html

I've only recycled the bed :)

I'll post some new pics when the garden is "green"

the pictures speak for themselves

great idea. I've seen ladder-type vertical shelf systems - in fact theres a Ladder Allotment website, selling various heights and number of shelves, at various £££££ - but this is a lot more elegant. Would stability be a problem? ,my paving isn't exactly dead level.

Hi,
I've put wheels in order to move it easily as I use it to hide some stuff, mine do not weight a lot and is very stable.

[HelenaTroy]

thanks for that!

of course, you've got the wheels widely spread, which would help stability a lot. I'm a bit wary when it comes to things that are bigger than me!

Very good idea and easy design.
What will you plant in it?

Hi,
well I'm not sure yet :)
we are having a bad starting summer in France (Paris) so, right now, I'm just testing some plants
