Where can I send pictures?

Use #vertigroaustralia when posting to social media. We love seeing your pictures and appreciate you sharing them!

What do you recommend for slug problems?

Sprinkle slug and snail pellets available at hardware stores or nurseries. They work well and are safe for your plants.

What do you recommend for bugs and pests?

Use Pyrethrin, a natural insecticide made from Chrysanthemum flowers. Apply sparingly and only to affected plants.

Do I need to apply fungicide to my strawberry tower?

We generally haven’t needed fungicide for strawberries or vegetables. If you have issues, Eco Fungicide from any nursery can be used every few weeks.

Where is the product made?

Our Vertical Garden Planters are made in rural Victoria from high quality, BPA-free polypropylene plastic. Other products are sourced in Australia where possible, with some imported.

Why are my lettuce seedlings turning yellow?

Reduce nutrient strength for seedlings. Use half the recommended nutrient dose or target an EC of 1.0 to 2.0 during early growth.

Should I add an air pump to the reservoir?

If water is still for more than 60% of the time, add an air pump. Oxygen-rich water helps plant roots stay healthy.

What can I grow in the Verandah Planters?

You can grow herbs, lettuce, strawberries, greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, potatoes, carrots, beetroot and more. Almost anything grows well with enough sun.

Water management is key to a healthy wall garden. Our designs prioritise even water distribution to ensure the top layers don't dry out while the bottom layers become waterlogged. If you need specific components for your watering setup, you can shop vertical gardening products across our full range.

Absolutely. While many people use green walls for ornamentals, they are excellent for leafy greens, strawberries, and herbs. This "edible wall" approach is popular on small rural holdings where gardeners want quick access to fresh ingredients near their kitchen.

Maintenance is generally lower than traditional gardening because there are fewer weeds and ground pests. However, regular checking of your nutrient levels and pruning is recommended. If you have questions about specific plant varieties, feel free to contact our team at Verti Gro Australia.
