not dapt to the dry enviroment !How to give deferent plants proper water by the relatively simple

Irrigating system?And who tell me how to grow the moss on the felt just like the Patrick Blanc

I believe that Patrick Blanc would say that the first necessity in making his walls successful is careful plant selection to match the conditions.
You seem to be attempting to turn that rule on its head.

I’m very interested to know the result of the test.. do you use drip irrigation system, with adjustable drip emitters? If so maybe there’s a way to make the irrigation dripping a bit much at the group of plants that like much water and on the contrary on the plants that don’t like much water..sorry too theorical .. I haven’t chance to do this my self:)
I’ve visited some page about vertical gardening,

please see:

dying plants on vertical garden is inevitable, and periodically, we have to switch the plants with the new ones.

Hi temmy thank you for your link ,I would read that later ,If read my words you would find that I would like to find a simple system to water the plant,drip irrigation system might be too complex .
I don’t know if the patrick blanc’s system is working all day ,I have changed my water time 5 mini.per 4 hours for the proper water .I would like to tell you the result 1 week later.Of course we can change the message at any time,good luck !
