A layer of forest moss was additional to the surface area of the potting soil and following that a single inch hen wire was put throughout the total panel retained by attaching the perimeters to the plywood edge. Additionally, you will must wire the rooster wire either over the cabinets or within the plywood panel wires to sustain the "experience" from bulging out In the event the panel is positioned upright.
