Circular Inserts are better for thin-stalk crops, whereas Oval Inserts are better for thick-stalk crops.
The patented plant site LeakStop insert is a modular component designed specifically to isolate and secure the plant growing area within a vertical tower system. Engineered for precision placement, the insert ensures that water remains on the root side of the plant while simultaneously blocking unwanted light and pest ingress. This focused design allows for customization of plant sites without the need for full system modifications, making it a versatile option for vertical tower systems like ZipGrow ZipFarm.
Circular Inserts are better for thin-stalk crops, whereas Oval Inserts are better for thick-stalk crops.
Key Benefits & Features:
Optimized Growing Conditions: Maintains a targeted environment by segregating the plant site from excessive moisture and tower growing media from direct light, which in turn reduces algae formation and pest habitats.
Modular Flexibility: Easily adjustable to accommodate various crop sizes—from small-stalk plants like lettuces and herbs to medium-stalk crops—ensuring compatibility with diverse plant growth habits. Smaller stalk plants should use the Circular LeakStop, while larger-stalk plants should use the Oval LeakStop.
Reduced Labor & Chemical Dependency: By effectively managing water distribution and light exposure, the insert minimizes the need for manual clean-ups and chemical pest control measures, ultimately lowering operational costs. AgriTech North's Living Lab reduced operations by one full-time staff member who previously only conducted algae and flood clean-ups, while also eliminating pest break-outs such as fungus gnats,that were breeding in open towers.
Seamless Integration: Designed to integrate smoothly with existing ZipGrow tower systems, enhancing the overall efficiency of your vertical tower setup.
User-Friendly Twist-In Design: Easy to install and remove in active planted towers, it is designed with the practical needs of indoor growers in mind.
NOT INCLUDED: Towers, Racks, Matrix Media, Wicking Strips.
