Never heard of it, but it looks interesting! Keep updating this thread if you decide to use it, if you don't mind.

I haven't seen this exact patented system, but seen others that were similar. I was looking into growing strawberries and saw some cool homemade structures with the same premise of growing vertically. One cool part about it is watering from the top and getting all the plants all the way down. From what I can tell, yes, this type of growing works very well, so why not buy the system you mentioned? All the hard work of the vertical system has been done for you.

How did you find out the prices for grow wall? They don't seem to sell them online anywhere, and there are only the three distributors, who also don't have an online presence...did you see them live? Would you mind giving me a rough idea what they cost? Thanks!

chefmichel - what is hydro-felt? Is there a supplier link you could provide?

Hi there - no matter what system you choose you really need to consider how the garden is going to drain from inside to outside.

We frequently review vertical garden solutions that claim to be for indoor use but fail to mention how the water is to be extracted. We find that the vertical garden solution can be drained but only after an expensive visit from the plumber - hardly a DIY solution

Also be mindful that if you secure a vertical garden to an indoor wall you may create moisture problems. A big issue in humid climates like the UK - not such a big deal in dry climates like Arizona.

We used Wally Pockets indoors (in London) without applying a waterproof paint first - big mistake. We tried the same solution in Melbourne AUstralia - no problem

We use minigarden indoors however as mentioned above it requires a plumber if you intend on building a large indoor wall.
