Can I grow vegetables other than strawberries?

How tall is the strawberry tower?

Does it come with a mounting kit?
Yes, a mounting kit is included to help secure the tower to a solid background for added stability.
Can I adjust the height of the tower?
The tower is modular, allowing you to stack up to 10 levels. You can choose to use fewer levels if a shorter height is desired.
Troubleshooting
Tower is unstable or wobbles.
Ensure the base is on a level surface. Use the provided mounting kit to secure the tower to a wall or solid structure, especially for configurations taller than 5 levels.
Plants on lower levels are not getting enough water.
Check that the water channels within the tower are not blocked. Ensure soil is not compacted too tightly, which can impede water flow. Water from the top consistently.
Water is spilling excessively from the sides.
Avoid overfilling the top reservoir. Ensure soil is lightly packed and not overflowing the pockets. Check that the tower is level.
Plants are wilting despite watering.
Verify that the soil is actually moist. The integrated system might be blocked, or the ambient temperature could be very high. Check for root rot if the soil is consistently waterlogged.
Difficulty planting or removing plants.
Gently loosen the soil around the plant base. Ensure you are using plants with a root ball size appropriate for the pocket openings.
