No, not vertigo :roll: ...Vertigrow, non-horizontal growth from your GB. Though the use of towers & lattice work (vertical growth). :lol:

Any questions or comments...just shout out, the more the merrier :idea:

To see my before pictures go to :arrow: "Fire Pit ... AP" then "Pipe Siphon by Apollo". Thanks

Very nice looking system. Did you make the towers? What type of media did you put in them? What are you planning to grow in the towers?

Yes I did build the towers, you can buy 4" PVC tubing @ 10ft for $8. I cut mine in half, each tower has 5 grow area's X 2 = 10 grow area's for $8 plus your plumbing.

The media is the same as the GB's it's "Rocks"...The rock that doesn't roll, from Sunleaves.com made in the U.S.A.

I plan on planting herbs, not sure yet and strawberries on the very top of most of the towers.
Strawberries keep growing year round, send out runners that I will train to run across the very top of everything.

Thanks for the details! I can't wait to see some green in the towers. :mrgreen:

I had to modify my Veritgrow Towers;

Water feeding the towers were damaging the foliage by keeping it too wet. I added a down cap, which also allows me to increase my water flow.

Water as it trickled down the towers would exit the towers at the back corners of the openings. Making a mess and not completely watering the bottom plants in the towers.

I love these!
Growing vertical is the way to grow.
