A vertical mobile garden is a constructive system that allows to plant in verticalself-supporting structures. This NBS can be located anywhere in the city, as longas in that place there are a water tap and a connection with the sewage system.On this structure are placed different layers and a hydroponic substrate inwhich the plants grow.
The vertical mobile garden is built with:
- Metallic structure. This structure is self-supporting
- Waterproof layer. Foamed PVC panel
- Hydroponic substrate. Special rock wool panels for vegetation growth.
- Vegetation. The vegetation are plants with little nutrient and waterneeds. They are species resistant to local climate suitable for growingin an inert substrate such as rock wool.
- Water collection system. All the water from the irrigation system iscollected on the bottom of the garden in a tank.
- Irrigation system. It is formed by four horizontal drip irrigation pipesthat soak the substrate, two vertical pipes and a pump into the tank.
There must be a water inlet and an outlet in the tank.
IMPLANTATION: Soft/Medium/Hard
This type of vertical garden does not need any intervention, because this NBS is mobile. We can remove this NBS easily if we want.
AMORTISATION: Short term/Medium term/Long term/No amortization
Green façades get the recovery of the investment between the 10 and the 20 years. This type of vertical garden is more expensive than the green façade with climbing plant and the hydroponic green façade.
