[Greenbuilding] living wall

[Gennaro Brooks-Church]

I've seen those. The problem is that the living wall looks like a
hexagonal vertical hairnet made of used tires, which is a very strong
aesthetic that not everyone likes. And the tire wight adds up really
quickly. The best design I've seen is around the milk crate style,
similar to the Tournesol VGM.
You can source that on your own. Recycled, long lasting, modular and
once filled out the crates can't be seen. Those crates range from one
foot deep to three inches so you can make a vertical landscape of
different depths and root requirements.
But it still raises the question of how to structurally hold the crates.
