Learn how to build a Grow Tower

Products used in these videos:
  • 1 inch thin wall pvc pipe
  • 3/4 inch pvc pipe
  • 1/2 inch conduit (Optional, This adds rigidness to the structure from wind)
  • Styrofoam buckets (Walmart's Styrofoam coolers will work fine)
  • Coco Fiber (Growing Media)
  • Metal Electrical Box
  • Metal washer (This rests on the 1 inch thin wall pvc pipe. The first bucket rests on this washer.)

Benefits of Grow Towers:

  • The tower keeps the plants off the ground (protects from disease and some bugs).
  • Grow more produce per sqfoot.
  • Less water usage, Install 1 drip line into the top bucket and the water drips through all the buckets below.
  • No weeds.
  • Quick setup and tear down.
  • Fruit hangs from the buckets and does not lay on the ground. Prevents early stage fruit rot.
