51. Are pests common in vertical towers?
Yes, especially aphids, whiteflies, and mealybugs. However, they’re easier to manage due to better airflow and height.
52. What’s the best organic pest control for vegetable towers?
Neem oil spray (5ml per litre water) once every 7–10 days works well. Add a mild soap solution to help it stick.
53. How to prevent fungal diseases?
Ensure good drainage, avoid overwatering, and allow enough air circulation between plants.
54. Why are my seedlings damping off or rotting?
This is due to fungal infection from overly moist soil. Use well-draining soil mix and do not overwater.
55. Can ants harm my plants?
Ants often protect aphids. If you see ants, inspect for aphids and control both using neem oil or borax bait.
56. What to do if snails or slugs are present in the lower towers?
Place crushed eggshells or copper wire around the base. Beer traps also work effectively.
57. How do I handle spider mites in towers?
Spray with neem or garlic oil solution. Also, increase humidity by misting plants daily.
58. My plant’s leaves are curling. What could be the cause?
Curling may occur due to viral infections, aphid infestations, or water stress. Examine closely and act accordingly.
59. Is it safe to use chemical pesticides in vegetable towers?
Avoid unless absolutely necessary. Towers are for home produce—organic solutions are safer and healthier.
60. Can crop rotation help prevent diseases in tower gardens?
Yes. Don’t grow the same crop repeatedly in the same spot. Rotate leafy, fruiting, and root vegetables seasonally.
