   * Shimizu Corp., a Japanese construction company, and Minoru Industrial Co., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, co-developed 'Parabienta', a light-weight and low-cost wall greening system. The system combines panel-type planting units to form a wall. The culture soil that forms the base of the planting unit is a compound that forms a solid but lightweight mass when heated, and comes in the shape of 5-centimeter thick sponge-like sheet of polyester-blended soil that has been heated with steam and molded. It has good water retention and drainage properties, and various kinds of plants can grow on this lightweight, shallow planting base. This culture base is the key to making this a lightweight and inexpensive unit-type wall greening system.((http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/10/parabienta_gree.php))   * Shimizu Corp., a Japanese construction company, and Minoru Industrial Co., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, co-developed 'Parabienta', a light-weight and low-cost wall greening system.
