Frequently Asked Questions

How does LivingPantry grow without soil?
LivingPantry uses a technique called ”hydroponics” in which the plant’s roots absorb nutrients from a steady flow of nutrient-rich water instead of from soil. Growing in water means better control of the plant’s environment to make sure your plants are thriving!
What happens if a plant dies or gets disease while in my Pantry?
What ever the reason your plant doesn't grow to your expectations we will immediatley replace it with a new plant.
How much does it cost to power LivingPantry?
During warmer months your LivingPantry consumes about 35 watts of power, which is approximately $5.00 per month. During cooler months power consumption is approximately 85 watts which is about $12.00 per month. These figures are based on estimated energy use and will vary from Pantry to Pantry.
Can it be used inside?
No, it is designed to be outside. Plants need lots of light to grow and outside is the best for that.
What happens if there is a power outage?
For outages of more than four hours please contact our team if you have not already been proactively contacted. For less than 4 hours no action is required.
How level does the location of LivingPantry need to be?
There is about 50 mm of adjustment in LivingPantry so there is a small amount of adjustment available. Ideally you would place LivingPantry on a level surface.
Does my LivingPantry need to be powered all the time?
Yes, a constant flow of nutrient rich water is required around your LivingPantry. To keep the water flowing, a power supply is needed. If this was stopped, the plants would suffer.
Does my LivingPantry need to be connected to water all the time?
For your LivingPantry to be hassle free it is best to always be connected to a water supply. However, you can choose to only connect your LivingPantry to a water supply when the water is running low.
My plants are still growing well, why do they need to be replaced?
While some plants continue to grow after the suggested harvest date, their productivity will decrease. The root system of the plant will also continue to grow which may interfere with other plants and also make it difficult to remove the plant easily.
Can LivingPantry be used inside?
The LivingPantry is designed to be used outside as plants need lots of sunlight to grow.
Whats the best location for the LivingPantry?
The more sun the plants get the better they will grow. The small Pantry is best oriented in an East-West direction so that the plants get all day sun. The Medium Pantry is best oriented in a North-South direction so that a side gets sun in the morning and the other side gets sun in the afternoon. The Pantry is best located within 10 meters of a power and a water supply.
I don't have outdoor power, can you help?
This is not something that we can help with. We strongly suggest you contact Mark over at Hoult Electrical (mark@houltelectrical.co.nz). Installation without a Residual Current Device is normally $299+GST and if you require a Residual Current Device it will be around $399+GST
Why does it take such a long time for the initial delivery?
This is because we grow to order and aim to deliver seedlings about 1/3 of the way through there life. So if it is a 90 day crop we will be growing the first 30 days.
