Atlantis Gro-Wall™ Frequently Asked Questions

Why create vertical gardens?

Beautiful vertical gardens improve aesthetics of urban environments.

Vertical gardens have many benefits including :

• Reduce the effects of global warming
• Reduce C02 emissions
• Provide Carbon credit
• Air Filtration
• Increased Oxygen Production
• Noise Dampering
• Lowering the temperature of buildings
• Shields heat absorbing surfaces such as concrete reducing the impact of heat which channels noxious gases into the atmosphere.
• Improves psychological well being through positive living environments.
• Provides a sink for carbon.
• Reduces cities impact on climate change, through overall heat reduction and conversion of harmful gases and use of recycled sewrage and stormwater for a genuine sustainable environment. Water wastage and pollution via stormwater and sewrage change the natural balance of waterways including change in temperature which dramatically disturb natural cycles and devastate natural fish populations and habitat. Utilising recycled water preserves natural waterways and provide essential nutrients for plant growth.
• Provide habitat for wildlife.

How do I know how much water is required to irrigate my Gro-Wall™ system?

Irrigation of the Atlantis Gro-Wall vertical garden system will vary on the following factors, atmospheric conditions such as temperature and sunlight. Generally we recommend for adequate watering, approximatley 10 minutes of irrigation daily through 3 drip heads for a Gro-Wall™ vertical garden at 2.4m in height by 0.67m in width which contains 36 plants. More irrigation intervals may be required in hot environments to ensure adequate moisture is retained within the individual plant. For Gro-Wall™ vertical gardens that range from 2.4m upwards, watering can be determined by a simple test of switching on the irrigation system and timing the water dripping into the bottom cell of the Gro-Wall™ structure.
