Default A Green Wall?

1/ Sink 20' rebar into concrete-filled buckets
2/ String bird netting or deer netting between these pieces of rebar,
and
3/ Grow some fast-growing climbing plants (flowering, edible or
whatever) to grow up the netting and thus having a very high green
wall.

Can anyone find any faults with this project and can anyone suggest
plants for this project?


Where do you live? How long do you plan to stay in the place?

Agree with V.H. that this may not last well. Wind is one
problem, rot of the netting is another.

There may be woody plants that will grow fast enough for your
needs. That could be more attractive. Whether is's feasible
depends on the two questions asked.
