DIY Sub-irrigated Green Wall - Plant One On Me - Ep 028
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- In this episode, we return to the green wall that was built over 4 years ago in my home • How to Green Your Home... and the new and improved features that we’ve done over the last number of weeks. To my knowledge, this was the first sub-irrigated wall of its kinds that was installed in a residential unit, and in this video, I’ll break down how it’s constructed, how the sub-irrigation system works, and the best plants for the green wall. Some of the new features that have been added is a new sub-irrigation and overflow system, homemade water gauges, an LED grow light above, and also a trellis, so some of the plants can grow upwards.

Thank you for doing a close-up of your green wall! I have been so curious about how it all works. Felt = ingenious! It must be such a pleasure to wake up and see a wall of plants!
What kind of felt is it? Does it wear out?
This is pure genius.
No hay nada que me guste menos en un jardín que se vea el muro Gracias 🐊🐸🦎🐍🌴🌸
“Root Rot” was the name of my punk rock band back in the 90s. 🤘😂
🤣😂🤣
I wanted a vertical garden now! This is so beautiful.
She is so leveled up. Nature within
Beautiful system. *Plants make homes more fun to live in.*
Complex to build, but very simple to maintain, which is beautiful in itself.
Man it really looks stunning. Im in love with these walls
thanks for your informative detailed non bring video about wall garden, after 50 videos i watch, i am glad i came across your video. many of what i watched have only one info, the rest was story i dont care about much, thanks, you cover most in one short, informative video.
Summer, I love you and your ideas!! They are insanely practical!!!
OMG I love it! Fabulous! and the water through takes care of the humidity also..so cool...
Thank u soo very much, not only have u helped me in such an awesome way, u inspire me. Just know u are brilliant. ur passion for plants is shared by soo many and shines through in ur videos. Never stop being amazing u, u wonderful soul xx
Hi Summy ! Yr DIY is simply excellent ! Green wall is captivating ! Go green ! Thanks fr sharing d video!
I have searched and searched for this channel for at least a couple years- i saw the vid with the living wall install.. SO GLAD to have finally stumbled across your stuff again!! An indoor forest is my dream. :) Thanks for sharing! #earthsign #capricorn
I love your apartment! What great energy you have there, so many living things.
what a beautiful wall......i've no words to describe how fantastic is this wall.😊😊😀😀😀😊☺☺😊😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Hi Summer! Cool episode, I love the use of regular gutters. Beautiful results. The wick cloth answers the over/under watering issue, smart.
Have you tried a toilet’s fill valve for on/off of water? A rebuild kit has a “float” valve. It keeps water on until level rises to a set point. Float reliably turns off water (hopefully). Running the “Fill” line to top gutter and float valve in bottom gutter could work.
Thanks for sharing. It was an elaborate video and enough to motivate a beginner like me.
Still looking gorgeous Summer!
I love your green garden.. It's very beautiful and cool.
Thanks for sharing the update!
Wow. This is so beautiful.
Great idea, so adorable.
That's genius. I've always wondered how those things work. I love it that it makes it possible to watch out for which plants don't want to live in that particular environment and then, hopefully, try them somewhere else (like in a pot... on a window sill... or somewhere). You can just keep trying different plants and then, eventually, voila - every plant is happy and thriving.
I wonder if it's possible to do this on a much more slimline, on the z axis, system. I'd like the wall next to my bath/shower to be a green wall - only it's a tiny bathroom and the bath is wholly filling one end of it. Obviously I can't have anything that sticks out too much, else I wouldn't be able to use the bath/shower. Can plant roots survive being in large flat(ish) containers? Traditionally they're in round or square pots.
What an excellent idea!
That's an amazing work 👏🏽
Absolutely stunning 😍
Wauw, it works so different then i thought. Smart made way that it works. It was not so good to see the led, maybe because it was on that it was hard to see.. the last seconds it is to be seen. Is the led enough??
Thanks for showing, amazingly made.
because you said you did more inprovements in your apparment like in your kitchen... looking so much forward to it...
greetings and thanks again. Oh and 3 bag with purple sweet potatos is planted today on my balcony because yesterday the 3 bag came in and bought soil for it today.
I my self am stepping over to crystal gel balls as soil because of the little flys and another bug that is on some plants laefs. Trying to fine lacewings somewhere because the suppliers on amazone do not deliver in the Netherlands.
Really thanks for you update... Bye
What a beautiful wall ....soooo cool .
Awesome!! Now that I've watched your video re Lacewings, IF you ever had a pest-problem, I picture a "fleet of larvae-soldiers" feasting!!
Awesome channel. It came out on youtube suggestions and I am glad I clicked on it.
I cant wait to make this wall in my studio living lol
Thank you for the walk through. I'm in the planning stages of converting a corner in our livingroom into a green corner and this video was very helpful. Keep up the great work! P.S. I'd love to see more about how some of these places you tour are constructed. Similar to this video, how the plants are mounted, watered, maintained etc.
Awesome 😊👍 wish you luck for more greener happy wall.
LOVE the wall, and appreciate learning the how-to of its construction! Good luck with it!
Absolutely amazing 😍
This is so neat!!
Wonderful
Wow that's really cool, didn't even know it was a thing
As always awesome vid! Btw super jealous of your Green Wall haha
beautiful.. genius.. great job
Kudos! Very interesting!
Love this video!
Meus parabéns pelos vídeos, gosto muito de plantas. Seus vídeos são empolgantes e nos animam a querer ter espaços assim dentro das nossas casas. Mais uma vez parabéns!!!
This is glorious oh my. If you could talk more about that LED grow light and whether you use any other supplemental lighting throughout your place (especially in the winter) I could use some top advice! Cheers from Montreal
I'll do a whole lighting episode. Thanks for the question!
That was an awesome video.
Really creative
You and your plant are beautiful
Thank you❤
Amazing video and you explain it so well. I have been planning to build a green wall for my Yoga studio and think it could be possible to attempt if I follow your instructions well enough! New sub👍
Beautiful
of coz! this helpful video. thank
Excelente idea.....
En mi jardín quedaría excelente con sandías y melones....
Great job, thks for sharing, waiting for new videos, also subscribed your channel, have fun, warmest greetings from Vietnam.
If i ever buy a home... this is top on my list
thanks Rayne
Heard about you on a podcast! 🌱So glad I found your channel.
whats the episode
Good design
My dream to have living walls in a couple of places sometime soon.
I know this is an older video but I love this concept. Is there a way you could post a diy or maybe sell the plans so we can recreate this?
Wow....I like that...
That's good! Our company sells green wall panels, you just needs the iron support, then you can have your own green wall.
Do your green walls grow high quality green stuff?
Good information
Ms Rayne I love the videos and your passion for plants. do you think the felt membrane could be replaced by a layer of Hydroton with the same result?
We are taking our house to studs. I have figured out a green home and wanted a green wall as humidifier to balance with a de-humidifier. It is more now. Your DIY is great. I am thinking of making it into a waterfall, which will keep water moving to discourage unwanted critters. I an guessing 2x12s would be enough support for the gutters and a faucet for watering. Are there other suggestions you'd have for a dedicated newbie? Thanks
Hey Summer, brilliant video!! I was wondering if you get any more insects inside with the green wall?
Hi Very long time happy New Year
Loved
I think,, look beautiful with light Tumbler.. hidden around plant.
amazing
Hi thank you very good video
So cool!! Totally jealous of the vertical garden!
Im so jealous, but this was very helpful, maybe one day

Hi Summer and Bless you.Yourliving walls are beautiful,as you are💚Can you please do an episode or provideme few details tregarding the Water Pum system you use,please??
Thank you.
Bless you🙏
I am interested in doing this myself. Could you tell me how much this project costed? Would like a rough estimate before I decide to go all in. Thank you!!
looks like gutters, pvc, hose.. plants :)
Hi Summer, I've seen some gardeners do away with soil but instead use rockwool as a gardening medium for vertical gardens like this.
Do you think it works well?
Wonderful music!
🗣LOVE IT 💚💚💚💚💚
We are super curious!!! Where do you find "felted semi-permeable membrane?" And looking for the felted pockets shown in your video.
The possible example of such 'bag/container' that is permeable to suck up water: smart bag
smile.amazon.com/Smart-Pots-1-Gallon-Soft-Sided-Container/dp/B002JUU4AU/ref=sr_1_15?dchild=1&keywords=1+gallon+smart+bags+for+gardening&psr=EY17&qid=1594713516&s=todays-deals&sr=1-15
Felt pot can be made by hand ( stitching in round pot shape or square pot shape), the black things she pulls out from the bottom of the gutter is called a drainage cell ( nothing but a spacer made from plastic..these are cut to fit the width of the gutter) and lastly the felt strip just sits on top of the drainage cell which wicks up water, which in turns gets wicked into felt pots which in turns waters the plants.
I'm in love...
This is so simple. Any one could do it, anywhere. How do you fertilize your plants?
Thanks for sharing ..i am a gardening guy👍
Ms. Rayne, do you have any experience using reflective light from mirrors to provide more light to plants in less than favorable light conditions? Also, thank you so much for your video.
yes, I have mirrors on the sides of my north-facing windows to bring in more light. Works well and now I can grow plants that are more "medium light" plants
@@summerrayneoakes how are your mirrors hung or angled? Would love to see a photo for inspiration. I desperately need more light in my home
Wow!!!!☺
I saw that you have some airplants in the background, could you maybe do an overview of tillandsia/airplant care?? I recently picked up a tillandsia xerographica, one of the biggest airplants, and I am really struggling to find any solid information on it. I know the basics, such as giving it a bath weekly, and indirect bright light, but what type of water does it prefer? And how do I allow mine to unfurl more?
Great question! Will add it to the list of videos
Simple and genius at the same time. Do all the pots remain moist at all times and still alow air into the roots? How do you deal with hard water?
nice video
Hi Rayne, thank you so much for the information.I have one question.Where can I find the membrane at the bottom of the gutters and the felt?Thank you so much.
I also have this question! Can’t figure out what to search for
Me to please!
Wondering what this grow light is. In need of a similar one for my wall.
Hi all your is super and beautiful to watch. can you please show how to propagate Harte shape leave philodendrons plant , you toke it out from your green wall to show us that plant thank you
Hey Summer, i love your channel and love your collection! I am going to build one of these living walls in my office space and would love it if you had any plans or costs etc for the build. Also do you have an image of the water gauges your using? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers
Good afternoon, I have seen your videos and I love what you publish, please can you put the list of the plants that are on the green wall, I hope at some point the videos can be subtitled in Spanish, congratulations on the plants you grow, greetings .
I love the introducción and music.People AsK how LONG does It take you to take you to Actually attend your planta.But it's your passion.Whatever is living at the fullest!🤓🙋👏👏👏💨💫💦
Great video. Subbed. Quick question: do you add any nutrients to the water?
My mom lives a long drive away, so we urged her to move closer to us since her area has no internet for me (I work online) to go to her for very long to help her as she ages (she is 78). Well, we convinced her. She is in the process of buying the land next to us (a small 1/2 acre lot) and to my horror she plans to cement the whole thing because she says it is hard for her to walk on grass. None of my really sound reasons to leave any grass have been accepted, not even the danger to her dogs' paw pads and the heat island effect. So, I am looking for a way to get green there but not create a walking issue. I have to admit to liking a green wall idea to also block some of the heat from our own property and hide the view of a cement lot from our own place. She may love the idea, but we realize how ugly it is going to look. sigh. Your explanation here makes it feel doable even though for us it will be an outdoor adventure with the added challenges of wind, southern U.S. heat, winter frost/freeze, insects, and sheer size/scale. We will have to adapt it quite a bit, but this gives us answers to questions we have been wondering about such as an irrigation system for the summer drought months we tend to have.
Hello Ms. Raynes, I am in the process of trying to recreate your irrigation system since the concept seems so effective! My I ask, where did you purchase your semi-permeable membrane and the felt strip?
I also want to know...
Me too
I also want to know but she she has not replied yet?
No, Maybe the video is too old... I will recreate the system just with felt... And bags from a company called root pouch...
Did you ever put this felt system together?
How do you prevent aphids and once you got them how do you consistently eliminate them?
You are beautiful, eloquent, ingenious, and real. I love your plants and I love you.
Great video Summer! I have a dream of building something similar in my condo in Montreal, would be great if you could share more information. Mainly, I'd like to know what's the optimal spacing between the gutters, and how exactly were they reinforced to be 100% waterproof, I see they are covered at the ends and on the front as well (maybe also at the bottom?). Thanks a lot :-)
I wonder where you would get the details on this, like the size of the gutter used and where it might be purchased . The biggest I can find in my area is 5" and very shallow. These look about 7 inches and are quite deep.
