Carefully-designed irrigation system

The irrigation system is automatic, independent of the living wall, and invisible. It is controlled by a programmed timer. The drip system allows regular irrigation of 1.2 L/hr from each emitter.

Remote monitoring of watering levels is also available, and allows for better upkeep of the garden and faster reactivity to weather changes.

 Low water consumption

The maximum consumption of water per year is approximately 170 litres/year/m². A gutter at the bottom of the vertical garden collects water runoff.

 Adapted nutrition

Slow-release, controlled fertilizers are initially incorporated to the growing medium during the planting and are diffused progressively to aid plant assimilation. A water/fertilizer injector is also integrated into the irrigation system to supply the nutrients necessary for the plants to thrive.
