This amazing unit will exceed all growth expectations.
With new and improved bases, all Eco Farms now come with 6 planters instead of 5. That’s 20% extra growing capacity!
The Solar Eco Farm system is fully automated and recirculating, small enough to fit anywhere. 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 solar 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 solar panel is high quality, and requires as little as 2 hours of sun a day to provide excellent results. In low light, the coco coir retains moisture to ensure your plants don’t dry out.
The tower stands 1.7m high when assembled with 24 large plant pods. The reservoir holds 60 litres of water which recirculates the nutrients (when using hydroponic 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.

How does it work?

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, and when there is low light, 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
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 solar pump without modification
