Comments about Outdoor Living Wall Panel Grid:

We have yet to solve the problem of the little succulents falling out. When they send out their bloom they tend to fall out. It was horizontal for a week and we put in less soil but we are still having problems.

Great Idea that doesn't fly

By Dirty Donna

from Richardson (Dallas) Texas on 7/10/2008

Pros:

Durable, Lightweight, Versatile

Cons:

Difficult To Use, Inconsistent irrigation

Best Uses:

Patio

Describe Yourself:

Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Openminded, Practical, Stylish

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Outdoor Living Wall Panel Grid:

Was going to use to grow strawberries, half died with in a week. Irrigation is inconsistent too wet at the top and dry at he bottom. Planting "well" need to be deeper and larger, will not sustain a plant past a couple of months growth. Plastic heats up and "cooks" the plants, plastic keeps some plant too wet thus causing fungus or mold. Needs channels to distribute water from top to bottom. Good idea that needs "tweaking". Best use would be in part shade W/plants that don't need a lot of water

This product doesn't work!

By Carla

from Baltimore, MD on 7/9/2008

Pros:

Durable, Lightweight

Cons:

Cells too small for plant, Poor drainage cells too

Best Uses:

Patio

Describe Yourself:

Practical

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Outdoor Living Wall Panel Grid:

This product is not vetted. My plants got root rot after 6 weeks. Water sits in the back of each cell with nowhere to drain. The moisture retentive soil recommended makes the problem worse. One should not use a moisture retentive soil with succulents or herbs.

I used this as a group project with my grandsons who love and grow succulents. We actually took cuttings from their existing plants. They organized the design and chose what plants would create an eye catching design. It's very interesting.

Comments about Outdoor Living Wall Panel Grid:

Planting spaces are so small, it was difficult to find plants for it. Finally found some succulents, but the soil I bought from you does not compact well, and blows out of spaces at first signs of dryness. You should recommend plants for this item. I have had it for about 2 months, and still am not able to hang it vertically. A big disappointment, since it looks so beautiful in picture!
