What plants should I avoid in vertical farming?

In vertical farming, it's best to avoid plants that require deep root systems, like carrots and potatoes.

Why are deep-rooted plants not suitable?

Deep-rooted plants need more space and soil depth than vertical systems can provide, which limits their growth.

Are there any specific plants that are particularly bad for vertical farming?

Yes, plants like corn and squash can take up too much space and may not thrive in a vertical setup.

What about herbs? Can I grow them in vertical farming?

Absolutely! Herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro are great for vertical farming due to their compact growth.
