Our health has been on our minds a lot lately and you’re probably trying your best to improve on those healthy habits. This is why we have decided to do a little write up about our HiGrow Towers as they are our easy, low maintenance, organic farming systems that are perfect for a health-oriented hobbyist like yourself.
What is a HiGrow Tower?
The HiGrow is an organic, hydroponic farming system. Moreover, these vertical farming units are super space-efficient which makes them flexible enough to fit into your lifestyle. These systems are quite low maintenance and perfect for growing some ingredients to complement those healthier meal plans. The HiGrow is known for growing any plants that have a shorter lifecycle such as lettuce, spinach, bok choy, kale, herbs and strawberries. In just 3-4 weeks you can have a fully functional farm that provides you with the freshest produce in the smallest amount of space.
How does a HiGrow Tower
The HiGrow Tower is based on a Hydroponic design. As you know, Hydroponics is the process of farming plants and fresh produce in a soil-less environment using recirculated water. Nutrients need to be supplemented into a hydroponic system to ensure that the plants are receiving what they require to grow at their optimal rate and provide high-quality produce.
In a HiGrow system, we are recirculating the water by pumping the water to the top of the tower and then allowing the water to flow downwards. Which ultimately provides the plant roots with their water and nutrient supply along the way. You have a choice between a 1.2m, 1.8m or even a 2.4m tall system suited to the space you have available.
Assembling your HiGrow Tower
We’ve tried to make this part super easy for you! In just 30 mins you will be on your way to growing the tastiest produce to ever bless your tastebuds! All you need is some seeds of choice, water, a power outlet and a star screwdriver.
Maintenance
We understand that you have a full-time job, or you are running after the little ones, trying to get the groceries and still trying to find time to exercise and sleep. That’s a lot to worry about! Therefore, we wanted to create a system that needed the smallest amount of your precious time. You can keep your HiGrow Tower happy with just 2 minutes a week.
Like we mentioned above, a hydroponic system requires the supplementation of nutrients and water. So, all you need to do is check your nutrient levels weekly using the HiGrow pH/EC pen provided and top up the nutrients when required. Also make sure to check on your water levels, you will need to top up your water to replace the water lost through transpiration and evaporation. Other than that, you get to sit back and enjoy watching your plants grow!
