About the Aeroponic Tower Garden®


How Tower Garden Works

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of any soil.

The Tower Garden® is a patented vertical aeroponic food production system designed for growing fruits, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. The Tower Garden ® is perfect for residential use, urban gardens and urban farms, rooftop gardens, and commercial growing operations.

Because of its vertical design, the system is very space and energy efficient. The basic Tower Garden® unit has a 30″ footprint, and uses modular stackable growing pots. You can grow up to 44 plants per commercial tower, and up to 28 plants per residential tower.

Tower Garden® aeroponic technology recycles 100% of the nutrient solution. It uses up to 95% less water as compared with conventional organic gardening and farming because the water is recirculated in the system until the plants absorb it or it evaporates.

The Tower Garden® also uses up to 90% less land by growing up vertically. What you can grow in an acre of land or 43,560 sq. ft. can now be grown in 10% of that space, or 4,356 ft.

The patented vertical aeroponic Tower Garden® technology is made from FDA food grade complaint plastic, is UV stabilized for outdoor protection and free of harmful components commonly found in today’s agriculture-grade plastics.

The Tower Garden® has a reservoir at its base. This reservoir stores the ionic earth mineral nutrient solution. Inside the reservoir is a small, low wattage submersible pump. The pump draws the nutrient solution up through the center of each pot all the way to the top of the Tower Garden.

From there, the nutrient solution drips through a special device that evenly cascades the nutrient solution over the plant roots. On the journey down the tower, the nutrient solution feeds the plants’ roots and becomes highly oxygenated as gravity tumbles it back down to the reservoir.

This process is continually repeated, providing fresh oxygen, water, and nutrients to the roots of the plants. And as an extra added benefit, there is a beautiful & relaxing water fountain sound!

Seeds for the Tower Garden® are started in natural rock fiber seeding cubes. After germination, the cubes are placed in full sunlight for a week or two, where they can develop into hardy seedlings ready to transplant into the Tower Garden®.

Because of the design of the Tower Garden® system, the plants grow up to 3% faster than they would in soil. All leafy greens and herbs can be harvested in just 21 days from the time they are transplanted with their roots attached as living produce and 100% full of their natural nutritional value!

About Our Proprietary Aeroponic Plant Food

Tower Garden harvestIt took support from leading world experts in plant and human nutrition to develop the proprietary aeroponic plant food used in the Tower Garden®. This nutrient plant food is the world’s first high performance ionic mineral solution specifically designed for all types of food and flowering crops. The pH balanced blend of natural plant nutrients help stimulate plant roots, flowers, fruits, and leaves. Unlike conventional hydroponic fertilizers, these natural nutrients can be used to grow everything from gourmet lettuce and edible flowers to beautiful vine-ripened tomatoes.aeroponics technology
