Hydroponics is changing the way New Zealanders think about gardening. Instead of relying on soil, this method allows plants to grow directly in water enriched with the right balance of nutrients. The result is fresh, healthy produce that thrives in a cleaner, hydroponics more efficient system.
At MyGreens, we design hydroponic towers specifically for outdoor growing in New Zealand. Unlike many overseas systems that rely on grow tents or artificial grow lights, our approach is natural and sustainable, making it perfect for Kiwi backyards, patios, or balconies.
Why Choose Hydroponics?
Hydroponics offers several benefits compared to traditional soil gardening:
- Water Efficiency – Plants use up to 90% less water than conventional gardening. The closed system recirculates water, reducing waste.
- Faster Growth – Because plants receive a direct supply of nutrients, they grow faster and often produce higher yields.
- Cleaner Produce – Without soil, there’s less chance of weeds or pests, meaning you get cleaner greens with less effort.
- Space Saving – Hydroponic towers allow you to grow more in a smaller footprint, ideal for urban and suburban homes.
Growing Outdoors in New Zealand
Our towers are designed for the New Zealand climate, built to be placed outdoors where plants can enjoy natural sunlight and fresh air. Whether you live in Auckland, Wellington, or down south in Christchurch, hydroponics makes it possible to grow your own fresh greens at home without needing a big garden.
You don’t need specialist equipment or complicated setups. Just set up the tower outside, add water and nutrients, and let nature do the rest. This simple approach is what makes hydroponics so accessible for everyday Kiwi families.
What Can You Grow?
With hydroponics, you can grow a wide variety of fresh produce. Some of the most popular choices include:
- Leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, and spinach
- Fresh herbs like basil, mint, and coriander
- Strawberries and other small fruits
- Edible flowers and microgreens
These are crops that grow especially well in hydroponic towers, giving you a steady supply of fresh, homegrown food right at your doorstep.
