We have purchased a Wally 32 Hydroponic system for our greenhouse and need assistance installing it. It measures approx. 5' x 5.5' and reported to be a simple install onto a wall, but we are asking someone who can install small equipment to assist us with it. We purchased this system for our upcoming Organic Farming Internship to show our interns an additional water-saving method for growing organic vegetables. Features
- Removable trench cover for easy cleaning and convenient root pruning.
- Keeps a minimum water level that protects your plants against power outages.
- Wide root channels that allow for long-term growth and continuous harvesting.
- Made of BPA-free, food-grade plastic for ultimate weather resistance and healthy plant growth.
- Easy assembly with household tools for quick installation and smooth operation.
- Completion kit included for simple & comprehensive routine maintenance.
- Option to connect to a permanent faucet for automatic water filling that saves you time.
- Suitable for growing large fruits & vegetables like eggplant, pepper, cucumber, zucchini and watermelon.
