Verti-Gro

'Verti-Gro©' is America's unique, patented, hydroponic, vertical growing system. Also manufactured in South Africa, it enables hydroponic farmers to accommodate six times as many plants in the same square area as compared to traditional gravel beds or NFT systems.

Consisting of a patented design, the polystyrene pots lock into one another and form a tower, nine high. The column can accommodate 36 plants, or even more if they are smaller herbs.

The Verti-Gro© system offers the following advantages to the hydroponic grower:


  • Saves land with more plants per square metre than any other system
  • Saves fuel, tractor and labour costs by not having to till and prepare the land for planting
  • Saves fertiliser and lime costs required when planting in open ground
  • Saves nutrient and water by re-circulating the nutrient solution
  • Saves labour costs by easier, faster picking at comfortable levels
  • Saves labour costs by not requiring as much weeding
  • Saves capital through re-using the pots over and over
  • Saves spraying costs due to lower incidence of pests & diseases
  • Saves plastic cover and tunnel costs when using Verti-Gro outdoors
  • Increases yield, requiring less fruit culling and greater production of perfect fruit
  • Higher yields are possible with lower pest and disease infestation

The Verti-Gro© four-pot mini-garden is ideal for herb lovers and those with space restrictions. It fits easily on to patios and balconies and is ideally suited for growing herbs or flowers, lettuce or celery for home consumption. It also makes an ideal outlet for the hobbyist who'd like to practice his hydroponic skills.
