look in the "walls" section, the Madrid one is impressive, they have a
gutter at the bottom and a water feed at the top, light enough for
normal walls. If my house wasn't terraced......

Yes, I read about them some years ago. Like green roofs it might catch on in
the UK eventually. I'm thinking it might be a good way to grow plants on the
walls of a leanto greenhouse to make more plant space. :-)
Wonder what backing he uses, filter type foam perhaps....
