Never forget the horizontal in vertical farming

But what sometimes gets lost in these conversations about vertical farming is the horizontal. To take advantage of all that high-density mobile grow rack systems like Montel's GROW&ROLL have to offer, to truly maximize your space and your yield, always remember that it's just as much about growing out as it is about growing up.

Whether you're cultivating leafy greens, herbs, mushrooms, or cannabis, both the vertical and horizontal axes must work together to optimize space in grow rooms and reliably produce the healthiest crops month after month, year after year.

We've spoken a lot about how multi-tier vertical farming benefits indoor growers, but it never hurts to go over the basics.

WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT VERTICAL FARMING

First and foremost, vertical farming capitalizes on the space you have, not the space you wish you had. Growing two, three, four times more plants without an inch of additional space is only limited by your imagination.

Montel's mobile vertical farming racks can outfit your grow op with ventilation, lighting, and watering systems built right into each mobile carriage—no wasted power or resources, no plants missing out on what they need to thrive. And because of its collapsible design, mobile racking for indoor farms lower the risk of unauthorized handling, chemical contamination, or spreading disease.
