After months of designing, planning and testing, we are proud to launch our very own vertical planter system. This Electric Eco Farm is 100% designed by us and manufactured right here in Victoria, making it 100% Australian designed, made & owned. It is the only vertical growing system of its kind manufactured in Australia and has features not offered by any other vertical planter.
From 3 years of commercial growing using the previous imported planters, we identified areas in the design and structure that needed to be improved upon and we were also keen to have an Australian made product in the market, keeping business local.
The Electric Eco Farm system is fully automated and recirculating, small enough to fit anywhere and has an optional trolley to easily move this and chase the sun. The Eco Farm is perfect for gardeners of all levels who want amazing results with low maintenance requirements, perfect for people with busy lives. Made from UV treated food grade material, this powerful Eco Farm will give many years of growing and produce.
We have improved upon the previous Eco Farm, and upgraded the system, eliminating the need for drippers and adding a valve for draining that makes water changes even easier, as well as more efficient watering without flooding or blockages. The Eco Farm is easily customisable, with the options to add a second or third unit without modifications. A single pump is powerful enough to power 3 Eco Farms running on the one system.
The 60L base tank is sturdy and durable, and can easily be dressed up with things such as stones covering the top panel, to blend with the garden.
The tower stands 1.5m high when assembled with 20 large plant pods. The reservoir holds 60 litres of water which recirculates the nutrients (when using hydroponic or Organic nutrient) and ensures even watering throughout the system, with refilling required every few weeks. When using controlled release nutrient, this is mixed into the coir before filling the planters and ensures even nutrient distribution to the plants, giving maximum results with low maintenance requirements.
Electric Eco Farm Features:
- The system comes complete with everything you need to start growing, including nutrient, coconut coir, Verti Gro Australia planters, and pump

Why is this such a great system?
- The Eco Farm provides a continual watering and feeding cycle to your plants, meaning you are going to get the best results without having to constantly worry about forgetting to water the plants again
- Vertical gardens maximise space, and are naturally better at repelling pests, as well as soil borne diseases
- Coconut coir is a great growing medium, you cannot overwater this, it holds water to ensure plants are hydrated and happy
- This system comes with an optional heavy duty trolley to help move the system around the garden and chase the sun, for single configurations only
- The supplied nutrients are high quality nutrients that we use ourselves on our commercial strawberry farm. We developed the hydroponic nutrient specifically based on our experience of over 3 years in growing a range of crops
- This system is so easy to use, and perfect for people who are short on time or who may have needed to downsize their gardens such as retirees or people with mobility impairments.
- You can easily add up to an additional 2 Eco Farms to run from the one pump without modification. The powerful pump has a maximum flow rate of 1500 litres per hour and 1.8m cable.
