Vertical Aeroponic Technology See How Tower Garden® Works
This video illustrates how Tower Garden growing system uses aeroponics—the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil—to produce more colorful, better tasting and incredibly nutritious fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Very nice device ! Thinking of taking one but I have two questions :
1° – As many studies demonstrated this phenomenon (like this one, ref : DOI : 10.3390/nano11112935), how do you prevent microplastics and nanoplastics extractables and leachables of the aeroponic structure to directly contaminate the water, the plant’s foil and fruits ?
2° – Did you study the amont of time necessary to make one aeroponic device profitable ? Considering initial investment, price of water, nutrients and energy what is the cost per kilogram of food produced compared to commercial product sold in retail outlets ?
Thank you for your valuable future help !
HI i love this idea and i am new to agriculture . what is the nutrient mix that you mentioned ? is it something we buy from you or we make make it on our own separately. ?
Can using overhead sprinkler system work for this?
Shame, good idea but uses power for the pump. Back to growing old skool.😅
continuous watering.?? Is the submersible pump is in action at all time???
If we have to give fertilizer, how will we give it, because it will get stuck in the motor pump
Do we need electricity 24*7 hour ?
This is amazing! I am curious tho, wouldn’t a nutrient solution, especially in the reservoir, lead to bacterial and fungal growth? Wouldnt want the roots to rot
But they required electricity which is not available everywhere
How temperature and humidity will control??
For the future. I read 1 square kilometre of aeroponics can feed 49,210 people they just relied on sweet potatoes.
I hate sweet potatoes.
So with variety, lets say 20,000.
So that’s 395,000 square kilometres, or 39,500,000 hectares. That’s FAR below 1.6 billion hectares needed for crops, and 3.2 billion for livestock. And thats if we triple the aeroponic size fir livestock if possible.
I love it
How is the timing for the pump determined? Is it preset with an estimation or is their any way to monitor, considering the water uptake would change based on the plant, growth stage and climate? Also, if its meant to be in the sun, how is the plastic being protected from sun damage?
Electric consumption?
Is that special apparatus that distributes the water maybe just a disc with small holes, like it is shown in the video? ;-)
This is genious!
the drip system means that this is hydroponics tho?
Had a question. what is used to plant seeds? I heard its coconut husk but how is it fertile to plant?
Hello I have a question, when we talk about traditional soil culivation, we need nitrifying (or more) soil bacteria and fungus that live in symbiosis with the plants to be grown, is this the same for hydroponic and aeroponic method ? can we totally make the vegetable growing without these bacteria and fungus that transform nutrients ?
a giant electric bill?
How much is power consumption? Is it cost effective?
Do your system have a lid at the top to keep the water clean.
thank you for such an inspiring video my nigga!
Isn’t that plastic is toxic?
continuous watering.?? Is the submersible pump is in action at all time???
Hi. Thank you for the short explanation. I just started a small hydroponic business in instagram app. This video will help my audience alot to understand hydroponic systems. Do you mind if I download this video and uploaded it to my account on instagram ?
Are the seeds last feed considered ‘organic’?
How long can the plants survive with a power failure? Have you considered a solar / battery option?
Hmmm think ill have to make one of these and try it out
Organic means no solutions. Just use water.
what endless marketing b****ks 🙁 Bet it cures cancer too!
How temperature and humidity will control??
Can you tell us what is in the nutrient solution, and can the tower gardens be used for aquaponics as well? Thank you
Can you please let me know how many hours per day should the motor that pumps up water be running ?
I went back to using soil after spending hundreds of dollars and countless hours. Main disadvantage with hydroponics or aeroponics is labor intensive and loss of nutrients from drips. With water any loss is neglible, but when drips contains precious and expensive chemicals, it becomes a concern. You need to constantly test and mix chemicals. It works for full time production, but as a homeowner, soil and water is less demanding.
Can I put it outside or it has to be inside? Wondering about pests.
Meaning, you need to put the pump on going 24/7?..
I see questions like. The cost of electricity per harvest and the cost of the added nutrients in the water per harvest.
What is the general or average cost of setting up a tower? And am I able to use it even though I don’t have that much of an education? How about the maintenance of a tower and its cost? I would like to know please and thank you QwQ
Coul it work with solar panels?
Well shortcuts could be expensive.
What takes 4 months to grow, if grown in 1 month, could be commercially viable but not as healthy, no matter which neutrients’ solution you grow it with.
so the pump works on electricity ..isn’t that expensive ?
could you also shed light on the effects of plastic material used in these hydroponic tower. does the plastic chemical gets absorbed by these plants, eventually reaching human foodchain ?
Nice but when temperature outside is to high your plants will die.
Can we use vermiwash instead of mineral blend
I want these, but not for thousands of dollars.
The bigger thing,,, society it self changes, as farming becomes a city job. I think I like farming communities better…
What type of Organic nutrient solution for the plants?

This is my dream
It’s time consuming and higher investment than conventional farming 😂😂
