Seedling frequency is how often we will send new seedlings for you to replenish in your Planted Wall.
You are in control when it comes to the frequency. When you first start, the membership automatically sets you up for a quarterly shipment of seasonal varieties. You can modify this default at any time by simply logging into the system and changing the quantity, frequency and type of seedlings you would like to receive!
You are only billed for the membership when you receive your seedling shipments (but you get access to the membership every month regardless of shipments!)
Seedlings were meant to be eaten which means they don't last forever! Every climate has different variables so how often you harvest and refresh your pots with new seedlings will vary.
Initially you will plant all seedlings so that your wall is full. Once you start to receive your seedling replenishment shipments -you can expect to be replacing 6 to 12 plants each time. This depends on how often you harvest and your growing conditions.
We recommend monthly rotation during peak growing seasons and every other month for slower growing seasons like during the winter months.
If you're growing primarily herbs, you'll want to choose a quarterly frequency.
The Planted Wall has been designed for growing outdoors. For optimal results, you want to find a spot that gets at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight a day.
It takes up a space of 2 feet by 2 feet (roughly the same space as a person standing).
You can grow on a deck, patio, high rise balcony, yard - it's endless the choices.
The Planted Wall is designed to make it easy to grow organically without knowledge, time or space.
Here's what is recommended to operate the system with ease and to automate steps.
- 110 V outlet to operate the pump. If no outlets are accessible, a portable battery pack is sufficient. You can order one here. The battery includes 5 hours of run time (monthly to semi-monthly charges may be required).
- Water source is NOT required. Simple refilling of the water basin from a bucket is all that is needed.
- To operate the float valve, a water source is needed to automatically refill the water basin.
- Lastly, a timer can automate the watering process for you. We sell this timer in our garden shop which can be operated from a mobile phone.
We grow with the seasons! So in most climates, you will be able to grow year round. However, you can pause your subscription at anytime or skip shipments if you're traveling for extended periods of time or the rough winter or summer season gets in the way.
If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait until night temperatures are in the 40's consistently.
On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover with a sheet or bring them indoors for that time period. The breeze is good for plants and helps to keep bugs at bay so growing outdoors is optimal.
For warmer environments (above 90 degrees consistently), you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs primarily.
This is the fun part! The Planted wall makes it easy to grow because so many of the maintenance steps are taken care of and the soil ensures your plants are healthy.
We recommend setting a timer for the irrigation system so that it waters automatically based on your climate requirements and attaching a water hose to the float valve for automatic refill of the water basin.
Frequent check-in on the plants is always good to make sure they're growing in nicely and to watch for any insects that may want to eat your plants.
Based on your seedling replenishment frequency, you can expect to spend ~ 5 minutes per plant to recondition soil and replant.
If you don't have electricity or water nearby, we have options so make sure to contact inquiries@plantedplaces.com.
We teach you every step along the way! We make it easy and fun with instructions, videos, weekly tips and a private Facebook community.
