What a brilliant idea! This rainwater harvesting vertical terrace is the fantastic creation of Ontario College of Art and Design student Michael Tampilic. According to AZSustainably,
“The terrace connects up with a downspout from your house and stores water in a large tank to continuously water the plants over long periods of time. It does this by using cotton wicks to transport the stored water by capillary action.”
We imagine that water tank could be used for other needs as well — but we love the idea of two systems at work. I can especially imagine a herb garden or other small veggies taking advantage of this. What do you think?

What a great idea! This would also be ideal for small space gardening and for people who travel a lot but still want to garden (provided they live in an area that gets some rain).
