Edward Warburton from Greenwall Solutions, Green4Air modular Greenwall System featured on ABC Gardening Australia. Guest Presenter Indira Naidoo visits home gardener and journalist Quentin Dempster to check out his vertical garden oasis in his inner Sydney city home.
Check out Ed's tips for establishing green walls:
Water is key! This wall uses a micro dripline system that delivers water to each pot, on every second row on the vertical frame.
Observe the light (where you will be placing your vertical wall) throughout the day and pick plants that are suited to these conditions. Seek assistance from nurseries to help advise on suitable plants.
Plants with shallow root systems are best, ie. succulents or epiphytes like bromeliads.
Add interest to your green wall by selecting plants with variegated leaves.
Experiment with different combinations of plants and colours.
Vertical gardens aren't maintenance free and will need some attention to keep plants healthy.
