Vertical Gardens Update

I have just tided up the vertical gardens and over the summer test out some other plants and herbs. As we are in the middle of a drought at the moment, the vertical gardens come into their own, with the salad crops. Though I am topping up the water supply with approximately 10 litres of water per day and we have just had the water tank filled with 20,000 litres, so hopefully we will make through the summer. The gasses will need to be planted somewhere else as they have out grown the garden.

Having a test garden has been useful to work out how such a garden might work in a public space, an one mostly unattended. The initial idea was to provide the community with a series of gardens which they could plant and tend, so you could pop down to Gordon St. and pick yourself a few herbs or some salad to go with your sandwich and eat it in the space. It just might need some more thought and tweaking to make a workable solution, to avoid any possible vandalism, but we will keep working on the idea.
