Somebody in my road seems to have put some terra cotter narrow planters on
top of a wall, tend not sure how, secured them to said wall with a tiny gap,
one assumes for drainage and then has plants that flow over the sides to
make it look like its all one wall.There are pillars at either end, as high
as the top of the planter. I suspect the issue they may have is when there
is little rain, but since I cannot see in detail these days, I'm not even
sure its still there. I had considered this myself, but it looked too much
like hard work or too much expense at the time. grin.

A friend, in his travels, has seen the garden wall shown at

and wants a similar wall to be built where he now lives.

The wall is evidently mostly two thin brick walls, perhaps with ties
between, and with a sufficient layer of earth at the top between, and
something to hold that layer up, and maybe drainage - most of that is
guessed. In the picture, it is growing little bushes.

We would like to know VERY ROUGHLY what the cost might be for 20 metres
of such a wall, with earth but not plants, so as to choose between "We
can easily afford that", "We must investigate further", and "Far too
expensive, we'll do something else".

Failing that, we would like to know what that sort of wall is properly
called, to help with our Google/Wikipedia research.



Evidently you need to look closer, I don't see two skins...
