The wall is just attached to the brick wall sticking out 8 inches from the bricks. No water ever touches the bricks and no soil is needed in a hydroponic type system like this all the nutrients are in the water.

Here is another pic from this fall. The plants have all started to go dormant. The roots have started growing through the capillary mat and moss has really started to grow all over the surface. Now that the plants are gone you can see more of the mosses and odd things growing directly on the mat. The dead should be removed soon for winter. But all the plants should survive winter just fine hanging in their little pockets till spring.
