An ecowall is a revolutionary system and method of growing plants with limited space. Plants grow out of the wall and upwards.
Excuses about having nowhere to grow are out of the window with a little imagination and knowledge any area even a vertical one can be turned into an area for growing. This revolution has not only taken root with small growers, big business is now investing heavily in vertical growing.
The main advantage is that it can be done anywhere from building a tower block to mass produce veg or just to provide a little extra room in your garden. An Ecowall allows your plants grow vertically out of the wall meaning that you can turn any container, prefab or school fence into an ecowall.
Bad News
Unfortunately, the local council have refused our appeal to keep the ecowall container and have said it must be moved. Many thanks for all those who got involved and our apologies to those who were unable to complete thier
experiments.
Large scale vertical farming
Vertical farming can have a massive impact on farming in densely populated areas. Projects are underway to design and build entire skyscrapers which house vertical farms. This has the effect of reducing the carbon footprint getting food from crop to shelf and ensures the food is fresh.
For the developing countries this type of project is further away and hydroponics4life is committed to bringing this technology to the developing world in an affordable and easy to understand manner.
Vertical Growbag Scheme
Hydroponics4Life helped Rochdale Rotary club to develop Vertical Grow Bags which are designed both for the developed world urban gardening the devloped world. We hope to have free Grow Bags in countries where water and food are in short supply.
