  3. I’m not entirely sure $60 to $195 is what I call affordable!

  4. Quick, someone come up with a DIY version! I’m salivating at the thought of a strawberry wall on my fire escape!

  5. Their web site has more information and photos explaining how it works. Looks like a recycled political sign or “LOSE WEIGHT BY EATING ONLY BUTTER” signs you see at traffic lights could be used for the backing (those corrugated plastic ones). The felt almost looks like those wool moving blankets…hmmm…

    For those interested in how to do this especially with something like landscape fabric. I asked the guys at lowes and there is a landscape fabric that is good for something like this that’s breathable but also keeps water in. I can’t remember which one it was but it was 3’X50′ for $25. I just installed some trellises in a corner and plan on making similar pockets for them.

  15. The link to purchase is at the top of the page: http://www.plantsonwalls.com/
