A WALL OF PLANTS

Today we had to go out to the transit center to get our bus stickers. They have a location in town at the conveniently located Ala Moana center, but that location no longer had the January stickers. So out we trundled to the far reaches of honolulu to get the stickers. (These stickers let you get on the bus a million times for $5 a month, so it's worth the effort, just so you don't have to mess with transfers or always have the right change which is, in fact, only a dollar anyway.)
Once there, the transaction takes about 10 minutes, and that includes waiting in line, and then another 10 minutes to wait for the bus to come back.
Now, to get to the point of the story, I was looking at this wall of plants and realized that its a very clever system. The wall consists of a bunch of boxes, which are about 2 feet by 1 foot and about six inches deep. Some sort of a bag is in the box which holds the dirt and there is some minor grillwork which apparently holds the bag in the box. They seem to have poked holes in the "bag" for the plants to come out. Seems like a relatively easy way to make a wall of plants. Reminds me of a box we saw at High Hand nursery to grow succulents in, but this was about three times as deep.
So, the first picture is the wall of plants, the second is a sort of a close up, and the third one is a tight close up, which I think might be upside down, but I can't see it that well.

Other than that, just another day in paradise, a little swimming, a little eating, relaxing, you know the drill.

I thought I had figured out how to get the pictures where I wanted them, but I was wrong.
