Grow anything from herbs, lettuce, strawberries & greens to full blown fruiting crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini even tubers such as potatoes, carrots and beet root!
Here’s some inspiration 🙂 :
Beet Root | Lettuce | Spinach | Kale | Capsicum | Tomato
Cucumber | Celery | Beans | Herbs | Strawberries | Carrot
Swiss Chard | Pumpkin | Bok Choi | Chillies | Snow Peas |
Zucchini | Broccoli | Shallots
You get the picture right! 🙂 You can pretty much grow anything. Just ensure you’re providing enough sun…
We recommend spacing your towers approx 1 meter apart. The kits come standard with 7 planters per tower in 2 sizes. Medium (33cm width) & large (45cm width) with the top planter sittig at approx 1.5-1.7 meters high
This is the simplest form of hydroponic gardening available and very effective. Modular stacking planters are filled with coco coir which is like soil, only way better (see why). Irrigation from above drips water onto the top pot with water flowing through to each below layer and the coco wicking the water to all parts of the tower.
Water can be delivered via reservoir (with an electric pump) or water mains (with a fertilizer injector). A timer is configured at 3 x 1 min feeds per day, and adjustable drippers are used to increase/restrict the flow of water. An all purpose hydroponic nutrient is used which ensures maximal results.
The towers are raised so that any drips from above can be used to grow plants at the base, or alternatively, captured with a drip tray fastened to the riser pipe returning the water back to the reservoir (if desired).
This depends on many factors such as climate, temperature, type of plants, sunlight exposure etc. However a typical watering regime will be 3 to 4 times per day for 1 minute. Then adjust the drippers to restrict water flow as needed.
For the hydrcoponic enthusiasts out there, a drain to waste set-up is quite a foreign concept. Most hydroponic systems are closed, meaning the water is constantly recirculating. For example the Smart Farm Tower Garden.
Drain to waste system is perfect for large gardens where recirculation challenges exist. They also work amazingly well! The key is providing a small flush of water at regular intervals. Just enough to saturate each pot, without significant run-off. We provide detailed nstructions on how to do this and there are thousands of examples from successful growers worldwide.
Vegetable plants need direct sunlight to grow properly. Think about a farmers field. Full sun all day long. So long as you have the right moisture content in the tower, full sun is recommended for best results. In the very hot summer months growing soft crops such as lettuce, you may wish to rig up a shade cloth overhead using the top of the tower. This is also beneficial to stop birds. But, yep get the towers in full sun!
You will need a timer, submersible pump, tubing, and a water reservoir. Structural materials will include PVC pipe and steel poling.
Yes! That’s the cool thing about this method. It’s modular & scalable wtih very little infrastructure needs. You can start with a simple 5 tier planter set and when ready, upgrade to a 3 tower DIY set-up. From there you can simply add more towers and won’t need to re-purchase additional pumps or injectors. They’ll work for countless towers… See this farm, the entire farm runs off 2 x fertilizer injectors powered by AA batteries!
Drive some 19mm diameter galvanized metal conduit into the ground then slide 20mm diameter PVC pressure pipe over this, then place some 32mm diameter pressure pipe cut to 500mm high to raise the tower. Connect the irrigation and set-up the timer and your done!. If you want a full kit with everything included as well as detailed instructions, check out the DIY tower kits.
The DIY Towers come with 3 options. Electric, Solar or Water tap powered.
- Electric utilizes a reservoir & electric pump with a timer
- Solar utilizes a reservoir and 35w solar panel and solar pump connected a custom battery and timer
- Water tap powered utilizes a fertilizer injector connected to the water mains and a battery operated tap timer
Yes, to do this we simply add a drip tray which is fastened to the riser pipe of each tower which comes with grommets and tubing so you can return it back to the reservoir. See this quick video for how to do this. How to set-up a recirculating tower garden.
Raised towers are easier to manage (no bending over) but also by taking them off the ground you’re eliminating a raft of soil born pest issues. Additionally, the increased airflow and sun exposure is great for the plants. Many construct the towers over an existing garden bed allowing the drips to feed the below bed. As the towers are raised, sunlight can get to the below sections for maximum yields. See this example
Yes, each kit comes with adjustable drippers that allow you to increase or decrease the water output at each tower. This is beneficial when you have towers at different stages of growth or with different watering needs.
Depending on your selection (reservoir or fertilizer injector), your kit will come with either a 4kg bulk pack or a 550g sample pack of nutrient. Watch these short videos on how to mix and use them.

What customers are saying.....
We absolutely love our hydroponic towers. Really easy set up and instructions. 6 weeks since we planted we have more than enough... 
Life changing, hydroponics system, I couldn't recommend this system anymore. It is perfect for a wide array of vegetables and plants. 
Delivery was fast and well packed with good instructions. 5 stars from me. (Although I haven't actually grown anything yet). We'll see!
Many thanks

On the two fuller towers I notice that there is no drip reaching below the top level. The water runs for 3 minutes 3 times a day which used to saturate a drip throughout the whole tower.
What do you advise to get water running through the whole tower again? Increase the water running time?
Thanks
Kind regards

I have been trialing different herbs and leafy greens on a three tower system to see what grows best, with the aim to expand commercially with the best performers.
The simple automated system allows you to spend less time worrying about the operation and more time tweaking the inputs and observing the quick results.
The system is a lot of fun and beats the hell out of growing in the ground! Looking forward to expanding, following some successful results this season.
We had some issues through Summer, Autumn and early Winter with the excessive rain we copped here in Sydney which didn't allow us to keep the nutrients up in the Towers, so we got some quality organic fertiliser and mixed it into the Coir in the Towers and just applied the nutrient mix between rain periods.
As you can see from the photo, we have had some great results growing Kojlrabi, Kale, Radichhio, and Pak Choi in the DIY Tower! We also have Endive, Corn Salad, Rocket, and various types of Lettuce flourishing in the rest of the Towers!
These Towers are GREAT! They are real space savers and has enabled us to expand our garden with the limited space we have. Thanks to Mr Stacky, we are now able to grow more fresh produce, in the limited space we have, and enjoy eating food knowing how its grown!
My 40 strawberry plants are establishing nicely and as the warmer weather approaches, I am looking forward to the comparison. The broccoli at the base is looking good too.
Bring it on.
Very happy with this purchase..
Have fun,
Amanda
P.S. Everyone who visits has been impressed by it, just wait unitl it really gets going!!

We recently bought the 72 vertical hydroponic system and it’s fantastic, so good in fact we want to do more. I am interested in the Garden Tower kit with the 20 LARGE WHITE pots, WITHOUT overhead tubing. I think this is recommended for broccoli and larger vegetables.?
Yes, thanks so much! Here are a couple of photos......first planting and then two weeks later. It’s a winner! My husband is having lots of fun with it. It’s a bit of a learning curve but very rewarding, fingers crossed we actually get a bit of a crop.
Cheers

I have it on 3 x 1 min feeds p/day morning, noon, night as recommended. The bottom planters seem dry... Top planters going well. rgds Brad S
