Do you think it would also work for something more sun/drought tolerant, like a rainbow of sedums?? Maybe building it and only running the irrigation every now & then?

I did something along this line this past summer, although with wood as the medium and only slanted, not vertical. In full sun with late afternoon shade it worked very well. These sedum received occasional splashes or drips of water from the fountain, but otherwise rain only, when it did.

Are you going to try any of these projects?

Yes!!! My first try will be a vertical setup on a north wall of my porch, under a translucent roof. This open area here-


(It's not the clearest image , but it's the first one I found that shows the area.)


Originally I'd been toying with the idea of the vertical wall for the tiniest rock garden plants. I'll toss that idea around a bit more in the meantime.
