Use a ‘Smart Garden’ to reduce your Gardening Effort
These brilliantly designed gardens have the ’smarts’ to automatically water and feed your plants exactly when they need it – without the problems of pumps, timers and nutrient solution management.
Since the SmartGardens utilize the patented SmartValve technology, enabling them to be gravity fed, there’s no more need for pumps, timers or the electricity that goes with them. This also means you no longer must have a reservoir below your garden to capture runoff.

Now you can grow anywhere from the ground on up, on racks, shelves or walls. This system ends The Hassle of Nutrient Solution Management. Since the SmartGarden doesn’t recirculate used nutrient solution back to your reservoir, gone are the days of having to monitor and manage pH and PPM fluctuations. Just fill your reservoir with nutrient solution and keep it topped off with more.
Because nutrients gravity feed to Smart Garden planters only as the plants need the nutrients and water, there is no need for reservoir changes and the waste of time and nutrients that go with it.
Each plant enjoys a full 1 Quart planter to spread its roots and get a firm hold in your garden. You can even use whichever growing medium you like, provided it has a small enough grain to draw water up from the bottom by 2-3″.
We’ve found the ideal mix is a 1:1 Perlite to Coconut Coir mix. The pots have a generous 8″ on center plant spacing.

With this new layout, gardeners looking to grow smaller plants or a larger variety of plants can have their cake and eat it too since the SmartGarden layouts allow you the luxury of positioning them any way you can imagine.
Since the Smart Gardens only measure 5″ wide x 5″ tall in either 3′ or 4.5′ lengths, you can grow plants literally from the ground up and make use of extremely short areas where gardens with a recirculating reservoir below could not fit. They even work great mounted on the wall!
