Patrick Blanc's system is the most widely used. I don't use it because it is purely hydroponics, thus requiring a constant source of electricity and chemicals in the water. Should there be a failure the plants die pretty quickly. I prefer a living wall with actual soil in the wall connected to a (gravity fed) gray water source (nearest bath sink).

Someone I know is keen on putting a moss wall in an coffee shop.<br>
Anyone with experience in this area who can share thoughts on the<br>
feasibility, cost, maintenance difficulty of this idea? My first<br>
concern would be protecting the structure from moisture. The existing<br>
construction is (100 year old) wood framing, lath and plaster.<br>
