Vertical raised garden planter

Hey Permies,

What do you think about this planter I built?

It is about 5 foot long, 6 foot tall, and 1 and a half foot thick. The bottom is a garden bed and water catchment. The inside will have half rotten branches to attempt to wick up moisture and prevent compaction.

Any comments?

beautiful. With plants coming out it will be real showpiece on growing food.
Expect considerable settling initially and ongoing as the branches rot, I wouldn't plant the top shelves for a while. Heavy watering will help it settle before you plant it.
Cool!

Thanks for the feedback Luke,
I am currently building one that is about 2 thirds the size but will break apart into 2 pieces so that it can be transported easily. Only 3 feet wide and 4 feet tall. Anyone else have good vertical garden designs?
