12 INSTALLING A VERTICAL GARDEN GETTING STARTED What you ll need: The Bin Fen Green Wall system kits Potting mix for your plants Water crystals to add to potting mix Plants (seedlings/plantlets) (as per competition list) Fertiliser (controlled release e.g. Osmocote, Nutricote etc) or liquid fertiliser. Appropriate hardware/tools (drill/screws/wall plugs etc) to attach kit to wall Suitable location for your Vertical Garden PICKING YOUR SPOT Find a location that is suitable to match with plant needs. Plants usually require a place with a minimum of 6-8hrs sunlight per day, Have access to water and drainage and be located in a secure location to prevent any vandalism. This can be a permanent or mobile location. Remember - a Vertical Garden fully constructed with potting mix and plants will have a reasonable amount of weight, so it is important to attach to the wall correctly. For each unit there will be approximately 20ltrs of wet potting mix, an irrigation pipe with water (if installed)and possibly up to 10kgs of plant material when fully planted. Please ensure you use appropriate fasteners, you will need to supply your own pack of galvanised or stainless steel screws (38mm) dependent on the material it is being attached to such as: - Metal Sheet metal screws (as pictured). - Timber Wood screws. - Concrete/ Bricks Masonry screws

14 9. Your Vertical Garden is Complete! MAKING A SEED RAISING MIX Some plants can be grown directly from seeds in the plant growing bed. There may be times you may want to buy seedlings, as this will speed up the time you have to dedicate to the growing period. Alternatively you can start your own seedlings; this saves money and is not hard to do. When growing seedlings you need a different growing medium (soil mix). You can buy products prepared by horticultural suppliers or you can make you own. A good seed raising mix can be equal parts of peat moss, sand, perlite and vermiculite. The idea of a seed raising medium is that it s friable (crumbles easily). This is very important at the transplanting stage. When trying to remove plants from the seed raising mix, you want the whole plant and ALL the roots to disengage from the soil easily; this will minimise root damage and optimise plant survival in the new plant bed. Some common soil deficiencies seen in plants: Low nitrogen levels can present as yellowing of the leaves, stunted growth and leaves may fall Low phosphorus is displayed by poor growth and can have a blue/green/purple hue Low potassium in leaves may be seen as spots surrounded by pale zones You can buy simple soil test kits at your local hardware. To rectify a soil deficiency you can get fertilisers that are specific such as urea that is nitrogen only; or Muriate of potash that largely contains potassium. But most soils require a good balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to optimise plant growth and there are many products on the market. Most animal manures are nitrogen heavy, so if you are going organic, you need to consider how your plants will obtain all its nutrients if deficiencies present themselves.
