Next project...

Rather slow afternoon at work and after, finally, getting some of the artwork I brought to the office up on the walls I've started to brainstorm what I want my next project to be.  I would really like to figure out if I can build a vertical plant wall using yogurt containers and not buying a specialized vertical planter...

First thoughts:

• chicken wire with a wide enough opening, either as is or cut, to fit and hold the yogurt containers, molded around a frame and hung or leaning.
• Some concerns: weight, angles of the yogurt containers
• Ooh Idea! What if they are succulents and a rain gutter can be re-directed so that they are watered with caught rain?
• irrigation of the containers, can they be designed so that if vertical and watered at the top that water will trickle down to whole wall?
• Pinned a vertical planter for ideas, they use a pad all along the bottom that holds moisture so that all plants get water they need...

Something like this sketch I just drew:         

This is what happens when all your projects at work are in the review stage...

Any thoughts on how this project might work?

I'll keep you posted!
