The VERTI-POTS™ system is designed to make growing your own food simpler, smarter, and more accessible, no matter how you like to grow. Whether you're all about living soil, dabbling in hydroponics, or just starting with potting mix, VERTI-POTS™ adapt to your growing style.
Here’s a breakdown of the three different growing methods you can use with VERTI-POTS™, including what they’re best for, how they work, and tips for getting started.
1. Potting Mix
Mix
Simple. Familiar. Easy to get started.
If you’re new to gardening or just want a low-maintenance setup, potting mix is the most straightforward option. Use a good-quality mix suited to what you’re planting (e.g., a veg-specific blend), and make sure it’s light, drains well, and holds moisture.
🌱 Best for: Beginners, kids, or anyone starting small
🛠️ What you need: Quality potting mix, slow-release organic fertiliser
💡 Tip: Water consistently and top up with compost every few weeks to keep nutrients up
2. Hydroponics
Fast growth, no soil required.
Hydroponics uses a nutrient-rich water solution to feed plants directly—great for indoor setups, high-density planting, or controlled environments. With VERTI-POTS™, you can fill each pot with inert media (like perlite or coco coir) and run your nutrient solution through from the top down.
🌱 Best for: Indoor growers, speed-focused gardeners, tech enthusiasts
🛠️ What you need: Neutral grow media, water-soluble nutrients, pH control
💡 Tip: Watch water flow and drainage—VERTI-POTS™ are excellent at channeling liquid top to bottom
3. Aquaponics
Nature’s ultimate closed-loop system.
Aquaponics combines fish farming and plant growing into one system. Fish waste feeds the plants, and the plants filter the water. While it’s more advanced to set up, VERTI-POTS™ can be integrated into aquaponic grow beds or used as a drip-fed system on the outflow.
🌱 Best for: Eco-innovators, educators, permaculture setups
🛠️ What you need: An aquaponic tank system, pump, biofilter, grow media
💡 Tip: Position your tower to benefit from nutrient-rich water and give plants a break between flows
So, Which One’s Right for You?
- Potting mix is great for beginners and the fastest and easiest way to start
- Hydroponics takes a bit more to setup but it's great for long term, sustainable growing
- Acquaponics is the ultimate closed loop system and is great for those looking to take it the next level.
Designed to Grow with You
One of the best things about VERTI-POTS™ is that you’re not locked into one growing style. You can start with potting mix and move into Hydroponics when you’re ready. Or go full aquaponics if that suits your space. However you grow, VERTI-POTS™ give you the flexibility to experiment and evolve over time.
