99.9% the same...except I used the plastic needlework sheets from walmart

I prefer a moss carpet over the wall tho

Nah, it was definitely the method. I just made it a couple of weeks ago so I'm still waiting for it to grow in and I understand that part will take a while.

What took forever was the actual sewing of the moss onto the grid. That might have to do with me failing home ec. In highschool, though. ;)

nm...thought you meant took forever to grow in/thru the plastic sheets

I sandwiched them..but before hand took an exacto knife and cut out little "t"s to make the holes bigger...THAT took forever!

but yea...when it finally grew in, it was beautiful!

I used the gutter mesh for my attempt at a moss wall. Didn't turn out too well. Moss turned all brown and didn't really grow. So I gave up on it after about 8 weeks. I also didn't take the time to sew it through the each individual hole. Mesh was also black which I don't think helped anything. Just my experience.
