An aeroponic vertical garden system was designed by Tim Blank. The Tower Garden, by Juice Plus. This is seen, by some, to be the future of gardening. You can put it nearly anywhere, and sustainable living is the purpose of its creation. There is a nutrient-rich mineral blend that can be added to the water to contribute to allowing pH-balanced, stimulated plants to thrive, in the comfort of your yard or home!
The plants can grow in half the time of traditional soil-based gardens. They also produce a higher quality of organic food, while also being readily available. It is self watering, and the tallest towers can house up to a whopping 44 plants, free of soil, weeds and pests. This is a good investment for someone who may feel they do not HAVE the option of growing their own food. It only takes up 2.5 x 2.5 square feet of space :O
We could have these in restaurants, in classrooms, in hospitals, and just about anywhere else! These towers can save money for a lot of us, as well as energy! You don't really have to have a green thumb to run one of these in your home. Fresh vegetables can be grown anywhere, even throughout the winter months! How amazing is that?!
This product can greatly reduce one's carbon footprint, as well. It uses 95% less water than traditional farming, as well as 90% less land, being a vertical tower system and all. The plastic it is made from is FDA approved food grade plastic, free of harmful contributors in most agricultural plastics. There is no soil used in growing the plants, so the cost is significantly lower, as well as disposal issues. The system recycles 100% of the water and nutrients. They are designed with the intention of using them for decades to come. What a wonderful use of technology!
This company aims to prevent short term disposable goods, in consumption of resources. It has AMAZING potential of creating significantly healthier communities. Just ONE acre of tower gardens can produce around 250,000 plants, and CONSCIOUSLY, for that matter!!! They can generate 30% more than a traditional garden with a soil-based method. We could feed our families, our friends, and even the homeless!! Food could exist in places where the land does not support it's growth. It could also mean that we don't have to ship so much from other countries. We are empowered in so many ways with this technology!
This product can help to green our economy! It improves an existing solution we have had for centuries, but it also facilitates a greener way of living, doing business, and using services. We could save a lot of water and energy for our precious Earth. There is no need for expensive tools needed for traditional gardens. It can be powered on solar panels, and eliminate some strenuous labour in our lives. We can grow food in half the normal amount of time, and bring in more food at the same time! This product DEFINITELY benefits the greater good!
