Description
Grow anywhere with this large automated vertical garden system. Made from durable food grade UV material choose for hydroponic or organic growing.
The Smart Farm by Mr Stacky is the best beginner hydroponic garden. Don't bother messing around with ugly pipes. This vertical garden kit sets up in minutes and looks amazing on any backyard or balcony. You can have a thriving lush garden full of fresh herbs and veggies from any small space with no electricity needed.
The planters are made from quality polypropylene that have been UV treated so the planters do not crack or fade in the hot Australian sun. (Tested up to 5 years). The entire kit has a premium quality look and feel but for a fraction of other hydroponic or aeroponic tower garden systems available.
In the Smart Farm, we use 'Coco' which is like soil only way better as you can't over-water it. Simply expand the coco in water and add it to the planters, than stack them up. Add a pump, and plant from seed or standard soil based seedlings.
Imagine going away on a 2 week holiday with no worries. The large 60 litre tank lasts easily 1-2 weeks before you need to top-up. The large planters provide 70 litres of growing capacity to support large plants. Grow anything from lettuce & herbs to full blown tomatoes.
Fill Planters with Coco Coir & Perlite Mix (70/30 Ratio), Pre Mixed bags are available in store.
Coco coir is a Premium Quality Hydroponic Medium. It retains optimal oxygen when fully saturated, so if there is free flow and good sunlight, you simply cannot overwater your plants!
Water flowing in the system is great for plant health. As the water circulated, it generates more oxygen in the reservoir, which your plant roots will love.
