The problem with growing root vegetables vertically is the harvesting of them afterwards. The root vegetables grow thick and outgrow the spacing in the mesh that convesional vertical plots have. this means that when you pull out a carrot it will tear off the flesh that has outgrown the mesh. this designs mesh is elasticated and only fastned on one axis so it can be moved slightly to help get that veg out safe.

Beer, teaspoon of sugar and lots of moss. BLEND then serve onto a wall
My first try at moss/eco graffiti step by step. Get the moss, wash off dirt/small stones, blend with a beer and some sugar then slap mixture on a wall. wonder if I could dry out the moss and grind it down with a teaspoon of sugar and instead of the beer dry starch? If that worked then some kind if just add water moss paint could be made.
