Comments (6)Mesclun should do very well. Any kind of greens. But the other things are going to require more sun than you have. You can start off planting a mesclun mix or other baby greens in a flower pot. You should be able to get a crop inside of a month! And it's cut and come again. The English grow their mustard greens in a saucer - you can sprinkle the seeds on a paper towel and they will come up fine as long as you keep it moist. And you can sprout all kinds of seeds (mustard, cress, alfalfa) in the same way or in pot filled with potting mix. No extra light required....See MoreShoe organizer vertical garden
Comments (7)The short answer is, yes it works. it uses the idea that practically almost anything which can hold or contain soil and offer drainage can be used to grow some kind of plant. An example of taking this idea to a funny but interesting level is that why get another container when you can grow plants right out of the bag that the soil came in after you punch some drainage holes into the bag. Many pictures you see are early in the season or just right after planting plants in the shoe organizer. The organizer still looks strong and sturdy. However, given the material that the organizer is made up, and being exposed to sun and rain, it may last just 1 season, maybe 2. For a longer lasting option, but also more expensive, you could try a rain gutter growing system. It can still be used in a vertical fashion. If you are able to find rain gutters for free, then that is even better. Or alternatively, gradually add more rain gutters but for starting out, have some shoe organizers. Because the rain gutters are sturdier, you can also grow more variety of plants there. But the shoe organizer is also good and definitely can add to the ornamental look of your garden....See MoreDoes anyone know which all plants are good to use for Vertical Garden?

Comments (2)Two of your big issues would be light and humidity. Some of the plants you list won't survive or at best won't do well in low light. And many plants under low light will become tall and spindly with reduced leaves. That won't give you the effect you want. Being near a source of heat means the relative humidity of the air in the room will tend to be very low. If you already have carnivorous plants you'll probably realise a lot of them like strong light. A lot of ferns (not all) like low light but also humidity. So you'll need to select carefully to not end up sending too many plants to an early grave. I'm not in the UK so don't know about sourcing plants. But there is a UK hardy tropicals forum on the web. I think they're mainly about garden plants but some people there would still probably be able to give you good information....See MoreRelated Professionals
