Many types of crops are perfect matches for the ZipGrow Towers. Herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary are perfect matches for growing vertically. We’ve also had great success with leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, and arugula. With a little extra planning and preparation, you can also successfully grow fruiting plants such as strawberries, cucumbers, and bell peppers. - Please note: strawberries and other fruiting plants can take a lot of work and use different nutrient ratios than greens and herbs.

For most of the crops we grow in our ZipGrow Towers - largely nutrient dense greens and herbs - we stick to about a 6-8 inch spacing. This inch spacing helps us grow 8-10 basil plants in a single 5' ZipGrow Tower. Many of our farmers have reported they are able to grow:

8-10 lettuce-sized plants per 5 foot tower and 16-22 lettuce sized plants per 8 foot tower.

Other types of plants will require more specific measurements:

Mint, for example, grows like a weed and spreads throughout the entire Tower. This differs from most of your greens like lettuce and kale that tend to grow more centralized and gain the majority of their weight in one spot.  Chives can also be planted closely together therefore allowing you to grow a lot more plants per tower.

We recommend placing your Farm Wall indoors and purchasing a light kit to provide supplemental lighting.  Please allow for at least 14 inches of grow space in front of the chosen location so that you have room to extend your light kit to it’s fullest extent.  If you’d rather place it outdoors, we recommend choosing a South facing wall with a lot of sunlight.

With the purchase of either of these two systems, we recommend purchasing the Beginner Bundle – this bundle will give you everything you need to run your system for an entire year.

Our towers are very safe!  It’s crucial you know that we pride ourselves in sourcing 100% virgin North American-made, safe PVC for our tower housings and keeping a very close eye on our supply chain. On top of that, our specially designed Matrix Media has a silicone binder that limits exposure of the water to the plastic. It’s made from recycled water bottles and is designed to be very safe. We truly believe in the safety of our towers. Trust us, we wouldn’t feed our families and friends with them if we didn’t!

Matrix Media is a plastic media used inside ZipGrow™ Towers. It is a fiber matrix that offers 290 ft² of BSA (biological surface area) per cubic foot. It is unique from other hydroponic and aquaponic media as it serves as a biological filter and plant anchoring in one. Matrix Media comes as a long strip, which is folded and pulled through the Tower like a zipper. Plants are sandwiched between the two sides of the fold. Matrix Media is black to disallow high algae growth. It is made of PET-1 (a type of safe, stable polyester from made from recycled plastic water bottles) with a water-based latex binder to prevent degradation. 

The components in a Farm Wall kit include:

ZipGrow Towers, 2 PVC gutters, a drip irrigation system, a submersible pump, a media pulling hook, a bottle of Canna Start nutrient solution and an appropriate number of wicking strips, matriz media and miscellaneous hardware.
