Review on Pro System-Vertical Wall Planter- Watex Expandable Green Wall W/ Built-In Micro Dripper 4 Panels, Total Of 32 Pots, US Patented; BPA Free Planters by Jessica Shakman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for indoor vertical garden, with some mods

This is a cool product. It's light weight, the individual plant buckets are pretty deep so plenty of room for plant growth, and it comes with built in irrigation system that works pretty well. It looses a star for not having any directions exempt for pictures on the back of the box though, and because the irrigation system requires being hooked up to a hose. I live in an apartment so mounting it to the wall and using a hose inside wasn't an option:P So I built a freestanding support frame for cheap from 2x4s and mounted it to that, and made some basic modifications to the irrigation system. It comes with some pieces to connect several of these together, so I went to home Depot and got some 1/2inch clear tubing, a fastener to keep it from flying off, and the nice guys there helped me find some pieces to make my own makeshift mini hose. Now I have one end connected to this green wall and one end connected to a very tiny fountain pump. I either drop the fountain pump in a bucket or in my fish tank when I want to water my plants (woo! Fast water change for my tank and free fish fertilizer for my plants!) So basically it works really well for a modified vertical garden/aquaponics set up. Now I just have to mount some grow lights above it on the top of my frame and I'm golden!
