Best Suppliers of Basic Vertical Gardening Equipment
The first price range is £16-£18
In terms of lower end, cheaper alternatives to the highly expensive and advanced equipment. I have found some suitable options on amazon.
- Bebester Wall Planting Bags, 2pcs 7 Pocket Wall Hanging Planter Planting Grow Bags Outdoor Indoor Gardening Vertical Greening Flower Container Black Plant Pouch
Both of these products are very low cost. The prices range from £16-18 and allow people to start their vertical garden without many initial costs. All types of plant would be able to survive in these and can be planted from their original pot straight into the pouches. The material is waterproof and therefore allows nutrients and water to stay contained.
These hanging planters can also be put up wherever as hooks are provided and these hangers don't need use of electricity. However, i would recommend placing them outside as water may spill or drain. If you really wanted to hang these indoors place a large waterproof plant pot below to catch and excess water.
The next price range is £120-£199
I found this product on amazon: "WonderWall Vertical Growing system - 10 Tiers"
This product is perfect for making a at home vertical garden due to its drainage system. Each layer has holes in the bottom of the holder so that any excess water is drained into the plant below and so on until the bottom. This does mean that this vertical wall is best outside or with a container underneath to catch the excess water. The reviews also say it is very easy to install and fix. Overall, i think that this is very practical and also gives the desired effect. The diagonal design also allows you to make patterns with the colours of the plants you place, so this really can be however you want it. The only downside is that i don't think this would be ideal for crop growth, and should instead be used only for aesthetic planting.
The second product in this price range is: "36 Cup Nutrient Film Technique Kits" this can be found on https://nfthydroponics.co.uk/
This product is much more professional in its design and would allow for crops to be grown or propagated very easily. However, this would only allow for 36 crops to be grown at once, which can be quite limiting. In contrast, to the last product this could be used inside and out, due to its drainage system, but it is advised it is used inside the home in order to regulate temperature and keep the plants as healthy as possible.
The final price range is £1000-£8000
Family farm https://www.urbanplantgrowers.co.uk/
This is one of the best vertical gardening products on the market in my opinion. This is due to its ability to sustain plant life in any light condition and also provide fresh produce straight from peoples homes. This is especially useful in very urbanized areas where people may not have access to a garden where they can farm their own food. This comes in many designs from singular counter top growers to ones this size. Another great design feature is that the machine alerts you when the crops need watering and this is only usually once a fortnight. There is also nutrients and grow lights built in to the product so that the crops can get as much nutrients and the strongest light source possible for optimal growth.
