Grow More. Waste Less. Harvest Smarter.
A patented vertical farming system designed to maximise yield, minimise waste, and transform how South Africa grows food.
What is Vertipots?
Vertipots is a patented vertical growing system that uses stackable columns of individual pots, enabling high-density crop production in a fraction of the floor space.
Designed by Louis Wilken — a horticulturist with over 40 years of experience — Vertipots addresses the biggest challenges in modern farming: limited space, water waste, disease control, and growing medium disposal.
Each column holds up to 8 levels of pots, growing 32 plants per square metre. The system works in tunnels, on rooftops, and in home gardens — making sustainable food production accessible to everyone.

Why Choose Vertipots?
Engineered to solve the problems that traditional growing systems create.
Zero Growing Medium Waste
Reusable pots eliminate the need to discard plastic growbags after every cycle, dramatically reducing waste and cost.
32 Plants per m²
Vertical stacking across 8 levels means you grow up to 4x more crops in the same footprint compared to conventional methods.
Water Efficiency
Integrated drainage collects and recirculates excess water, ensuring every drop is used effectively with minimal runoff.
Disease Isolation
Each plant grows in its own individual pot, preventing soil-borne diseases from spreading between plants.
Root Monitoring
Pots can be lifted and inspected at any time, giving growers full visibility over root health without disturbing the plant.
Flexible Deployment
Deploy in commercial tunnels, on urban rooftops, or in backyard gardens. The modular design adapts to any environment.
Where It Works
From large-scale commercial operations to small home setups, Vertipots adapts to your environment.
Commercial Tunnels
Maximise yield in polytunnels with vertical columns that use every cubic metre of growing space efficiently.
Urban Rooftops
Lightweight columns are ideal for rooftop farming, bringing food production to the heart of cities.
Home Gardens
Grow fresh vegetables and herbs at home with a compact system that fits on a patio or balcony.
