Recirculating Vertical Gardens
See our SPECIALS for
limited time or introductory deals!!!
When selecting a Vertical Garden
it is important to choose the model that best suits your crop
and climate. You need to ask yourself some basic questions before you begin.
- Where do I want to put my Vertical Garden?
- How much natural light do I have?
- Do I want to grow inside, outside, or possibly both,
when the weather permits?
- What crops do I want to grow?
The Verti-Gro
stackable pot is a high density EPS plastic that is very durable and lasts
for 5-10 years. It is specifically designed to insulate the roots of the plant.
Root temperature control is the single most important factor in growing healthy
plants and obtaining high production.
The VG models can be used
indoors or outdoors because they are complete re-circulating hydroponic
systems with a nutrient tank, pump and timer. All of the fertilizer
solution is re-used for a period of time. It can be placed outside on a patio,
in a sunny spot on the lawn or in the garden. The complete unit can be moved
easily when the tank is empty or almost empty. The pots can be removed and
taken inside when weather conditions are severe (too cold, too windy).
The VG-2
is a 2 stack vertical growing system with two columns of 5 stackable pots.
The nutrient tank for the VG-2 is made
of high impact ABS and from high impact polystyrene for the "Single Stack"
units. (The VG-2 has been temporarily retired from our product line, the shipping costs are prohibitive, and it is being re-deisnged)
The nutrient tanks for the VG
models hold 10-12 gallons of water. All lids are made of ABS to provide
the strength needed to support the weight of 5 planted pots. Any of the ABS
parts can be painted with latex or latex-acrylic spray paint.
The VG-1
has a square nutrient tank and the stack sits in the middle. The tanks for
these two units are available in terracotta, oyster white and forest green.
The lids are always white, but can be repainted if they become stained.
Our newest product is the
table top hydroponic garden, it comes with 8 (TTG-8A)
or 12 pots (TTG-12A)
and has a recirculating automatic watering system. They can sit on a table,
platform or rolling cart.
The VGK
models are not re-circulating, but rather a drip irrigation system
patterned after the Verti-Gro outdoor commercial
growing system. They can be easily and quickly installed and are very versatile.
The support pipes are local 3/4" conduit that are driven into the ground about
12" to support the vertical towers. These are semi-permanent towers that can
be moved by pulling the pipes out of the ground and relocating the vertical
garden. The VGK models are expandable
sing the same pump and timer. Click here for more
details on the VGK models.

Recirculating basic
Units |
If you need a small system because
of limited space, these Vertical Gardens are for you. These units can be
placed just about anywhere, in a patio (covered or not), a balcony, in the
house (with enough sunlight coming in), or simply outdoors (in a greenhouse
or not). Any of the Gardens listed below can be used as a starter system,
more can be added later, or larger and more expandable units can be used
instead.
Each stack is 5 pots high, for
a total of 5 pots for the VG-1,
10 pots for the VG-2 and 20 pots
for the VG-2x2. At 4 plants per
pot, you can grow 20,40 and 80 plants in these Vertical Gardens.
