Wally 32 – Hydroponic Vertical System for Growing 32 Greens and Fruits

The Shallow Water Culture (SWC) method is a hydroponic technique where a shallow layer of nutrient-rich water continuously circulates through the growing channels. This ensures plants receive a constant supply of water, nutrients, and oxygen directly to their roots, promoting fast and efficient growth. Unlike traditional gardening, SWC conserves up to 90% more water by recirculating it in a closed loop, and its shallow water level provides added security by keeping plants hydrated even during pump failures or power outages. This makes it a reliable and water-efficient method for hydroponic growing.

To grow successfully with the WALLY32, you need the following basic conditions:

Suitable Vertical Surface: A strong and sturdy vertical surface for securely mounting the system.

Sufficient Light:

• For herbs and leafy greens: At least three hours of direct sunlight or sufficient artificial grow lights.
• For fruiting vegetables: At least five hours of direct sunlight or sufficient artificial grow lights.

Reliable Power Source: A nearby and consistent power source to run the system's pump.

Airflow and Temperature: Proper ventilation and a suitable temperature for plant growth. Specific temperature requirements can vary based on the plant type. Use the provided plant encyclopedia to check the specific growing conditions for each plant you want to grow.

These basic conditions ensure a productive and hassle-free experience with the WALLY32.

Yes, the WALLY32 can be placed indoors and is ideal for indoor use, as it requires minimal space. However, growers need to ensure adequate light, airflow, and humidity for healthy plant growth. To support indoor growing, NatureTech offers a professional artificial light kit specifically designed for the WALLY32. This kit provides optimal lighting for herbs, leafy greens, and some fruiting vegetables, and can be easily placed above each channel.

To grow hydroponically with the WALLY32, you’ll need the following additional items:

• Hydroponic Fertilizer: A balanced mineral fertilizer containing all the essential macro and micronutrients required for the plants' entire growth cycle.
• EC Meter: To monitor the electrical conductivity and ensure proper nutrient levels in the water.
• pH Meter: To measure the pH of the nutrient solution for optimal plant absorption.
• pH Adjustment Solutions: pH Up and pH Down solutions to balance the pH after adding fertilizer to the water.

What you can grow with the WALLY32 depends on the light available:

• Fruiting Vegetables: Require more than five hours of direct sunlight or strong artificial grow lights.
• Herbs and Leafy Greens: Need at least three hours of direct sunlight or adequate artificial light.
• No Direct Light: If you lack natural light, you’ll need artificial grow lights to support your plants.

By ensuring the right lighting conditions, you can grow a variety of fresh, healthy produce with ease.

Ongoing maintenance for the WALLY32 is simple and adaptable to your needs:

• Reservoir Refilling: This is done as needed, typically once a week or every two to three weeks. If connected to a water tap using the float valve, refilling happens automatically.
• Fertilizing: After refilling the reservoir with fresh water, dilute a small amount of concentrated fertilizer into the water following the included guide.
• pH Balancing: Check the pH of the nutrient solution and adjust it as needed to keep it within the optimal range.
• Pump Filter Cleaning: Clean the pump’s filter once a month to ensure smooth operation.
• Plant Checks: Regularly inspect plants for support needs or pests that may require attention.

All detailed instructions for weekly, monthly, and cycle-based maintenance are provided in the system manual and available on our website for easy reference.

The WALLY32 stands out with several unique advantages that make it a top choice for hydroponic gardening:

• Safety Net for Growers: The SWC method ensures a constant shallow water level in the channels, even during pump failures or power outages, giving growers peace of mind that plants won’t dry out.
• Removable Covers: The channels feature removable covers for easy root maintenance and thorough cleaning between growing cycles, ensuring healthy plants and a hygienic system.
• Food-Grade, UV-Resistant Materials: Made from BPA-free materials, the WALLY32 is safe for growing food and durable for outdoor use.
• Space Efficiency: Its vertical design utilizes walls, leaving minimal footprint on the floor, making it ideal for urban spaces with limited room.
• Flexibility for Indoor and Outdoor Use: Whether placed indoors or outdoors, the WALLY32 can grow herbs, leafy greens, and fruiting vegetables year-round.
• Self-Watering Capability: The integrated float valve allows automatic water refilling when connected to a tap, reducing the grower’s workload.
• Beginner-Friendly Design: Easy to assemble, activate, and maintain, it’s perfect for first-time hydroponic growers.
• Low Maintenance: Weekly maintenance requires only 10 to 15 minutes, and monthly tasks, like pump filter cleaning, are simple and quick.

These advantages make the WALLY32 an innovative, reliable, and user-friendly solution for growing fresh, pesticide-free produce at home.

The WALLY32 is the perfect choice for you if:

• You have sufficient light: At least five hours of direct sunlight or the option to install artificial grow lights for optimal plant growth.
• You have a vertical surface: A sturdy, unused wall you’d like to transform into a productive garden for growing your own food.
• You want to grow a variety of plants: From herbs and leafy greens to fruiting vegetables like tomatoes, melons, and cucumbers, the WALLY32 offers ample root space and efficiency for all types of plants.
