If you know the basics, planting a ZipGrow™ Tower can be very fast.
Towers are the foundation of all ZipGrow™ products whether for home or commercial use the process and tools needed for planting are the same.
This makes gardening and farming with Towers easier and saves money on labor.
In this video Alex will walk you through the process of planting a Tower.
Getting started
Ensure your transplanting area is clean and sanitized before you begin planting to avoid any contamination.
Seedling rules
Growers can use almost any type of seedling in their Towers. We prefer polymer bound plugs or foam plugs because they're easy to plant and move around.
Only transplant into clean Matrix Media and Towers
While the type of plug and the crops you grow are variable, there are a few rules that you should always follow!
- Wait for the seedlings to mature.
- Use only the healthiest seedlings.
- If you're doing aquaponics, don't use perlite or rock wool.
Steps to plant a ZipGrow™ Tower
Step 1: Place the wicking strip 1/2 inch from the face of the Tower. (Leaving a 1-inch flap at the top of the Tower can help catch water from the dripper above.)
Step 2: Plant seedlings at a slight angle, spacing according to seed packet.
Step 3: Pull the media. Plant it first if you're 1 person, plant it as you pull if you're 2 people.
