2/18/2024 0 Comments Indoor garden tower![]() It is now May, in that time frame I have done 3 major plantings: the original, a second batch around December, and am working on a third batch now. I started seeds for my TG the beginning of August and transplanted them into the TG mid-August. I can also grow a lot more items in the TG than I can in the same space if I was using a traditional hydroponic system. Now you may be wondering if I’m going to spend all the time and money on a hydroponic system why not just get into actual hydroponics? Good question! While a do-it-yourself hydroponic system is certainly cheaper, there is a definite learning curve. It really is an awesome product, especially for someone like me who has limited space and no yard. You can tell they definitely have a slick marketing theme going, however don’t let that turn you off. They have a very active Facebook page and discussion boards where you can go to get help and ask questions. The TG is easy to set-up, it took an hour, if that to read through the directions and get it together. While it was definitely an investment at the time, for us it has really turned out to be worth it. I got the basic kit, the extension, the tomato cage, and the light kit. The basic kit comes with everything you need to get started including a water pump, timer, seeds, and rockwool. The basic TG has 20 spaces to grow things and the extension kit adds another 8 spots. Either way, I don’t waste time quibbling over terms both use water to deliver the necessary nutrients to the plants instead of soil. hydroponic, in hydponics the plant roots sit in flowing water, while in aeroponics they just sit in air and at timed intervals have water flow over them. The Tower Garden (TG) is described (by them) as an aeroponic vertical growing system. I’ve had a Tower Garden for 10 months now and I have not been disappointed, it has been garden-changing! As the lady was explaining everything and showing how it worked I knew that this was something that could be garden-changing for me. My view of the amount and type of edible produce I could produce purely indoors was drastically changed one weekend when I was introduced to the Tower Garden at a local farmers market. I still have some things that I like growing just because, but for the most part I limit my plant adventures to useful plants, things like herbs, medicinal plants, and edibles. I decided to grow things that were deemed ‘useful’. I started indoor gardening for the fun and enjoyment of being able to garden, however as the plant collection grew I had to be more discerning about what I grew.
