Wall Planters & Hangers
Got A Small Yard
Have you thought about hanging your garden on a wall using wall-planters or from the pergola using hanging bowls. Known as vertical gardening.
There is a great range of products available now through Envisions Products of Bayswater Vic, Wall-planters ranging from 23cm to 48cm. Hanging Bowls 27cm & 37cm.
Envisions even have stands to mount the wall-planters, we are using concrete mesh to hang them using hooks. Tech screws are available from hardware stores to mount the wall-planters to wood.
Make sure a wall or fence structure is strong to carry the weight of the bigger wall-planters, with the soil allowing for water saturation. Make sure brick masonry is stable to take fixing into. Example; 38cm wall-planter with dirt/moisture is approx 15 Kg.
The same point applies to pergola or roof structure for hanging large bowls.
Bear in mind good quality wall-planters are not cheap in price, but with care they will last much longer.
A great variety of bulbs can be grown in these vessels, but also mini roses, mini azaleas can be grown in the medium to large size wall-planters. Grow your herbs in these wall-planters!
Possibly Gladioli & Tall beard Iris could be grown in the largest wall-planter, there are even post and corner planters available now-so stretch your imagination.
Depending on application or situation, watering could be spread to once a week, possibly a drip system could be set-up.
Special Organic Soils is working to build-up a stock Dwarf Beard Iris in wall-planters, also muscari is being tried.
