Why Vertical Growing?

Vertical gardening is an innovative growing concept like no other ever introduced to the hydroponic community. We are continually working to create the cleanest, simplest vertical stacking system. Whether you have a small patio or small farm, our design allows you to maximize your yield while minimizing your environmental footprint.

The Verti-Gro system is versatile for vegetable, herb and flower production. Space and energy are major factors in the economics of growing food. Food costs and retail prices are going to continue to increase as quality
continues to decrease. Safety and sustainability is paramount!

Verti-Gro is
cultivating that future!

Why EPS?

Why have we chosen EPS (expanded polysytrene) over hard plastic?  "Styrofoam" is a version of polystyrene (XPS) and has gotten a bad rap over the years.  Most people don't realize that the environmental affects of making hard plastic are worse  than EPS.  There are more steps in the manufacturing process, therefore more toxins exposed to the environment.  Expanded polystyrene requires less processing and holds up better in the sun.  It also insulates the roots much better from heat and cold.  Hard plastic pots have no insulating properties and will break within a year or two of being outside.  EPS was recently approved by the EPA for organic growing.  There is no leaching into the roots,  therefore, EPS is a safe, long-lasting material for successfully growing plants.
