Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Choose herbs by available sunlight and mature size, then estimate the wet weight of soil, water, plants, and containers.
Step 2
Select a wall or freestanding support rated for that wet load and protect siding or interior finishes from trapped moisture.
Step 3
Locate framing and utilities, mark level bracket positions, and install the support system with corrosion-resistant rated fasteners.
Step 4
Confirm every pocket drains freely into a safe collection or ground area before adding potting mix.
Step 5
Plant with compatible spacing, keep aggressive spreaders contained, and water slowly from the top while checking runoff.
Step 6
Inspect anchors, drainage, and plant health weekly; rotate or prune herbs so upper growth does not shade lower pockets completely.
Wet planters are heavy. Verify structural support and hidden utilities before mounting, protect walls from persistent moisture, and consult a qualified professional if load capacity or waterproofing is uncertain.
