Indoor VERTICAL Garden Tower for a SELF SUFFICIENT Garden!
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “The Aeroponic Tower Channel”.
I finally found a way to replace many grocery store produce items by growing food 12 months a year using self sufficient garden systems!
Welcome to The Aeroponic Tower Channel. I'm Steffanie and I'm here to help anyone who is interested in learning about and or mastering aeroponic tower gardening. I use aeroponic technology to grow fresh produce 365 days a year to provide the healthiest, cleanest, and easiest-to-grow food for my family. I am a plant-based eater and a lover of consuming lots of greens daily for optimal health. LOTS of them! I hope you will join me on this journey of taking back control of our food. I believe it is time to stop relying on broken systems that are feeding us foods full of toxins in packaging that is polluting the earth. Gardening is a hobby, growing food is a necessity!
Growing food using aeroponic technology from Tower Garden allows me to us less water, save on resources, reduce waste and has reduced the manual labor inputs required for growing my own food. My indoor vertical garden systems also have a faster turnaround with greater yields. This is my story on how I decided to try aeroponic gardening and my passion for helping others do the same.
An automated hydroponic garden tower is for anyone who wants to grow vegetables indoors in winter and year round inside or out. Anyone who wants to garden in small spaces with less manual labor and resources. Anyone interested in an indoor salad garden system, and those trying to fight food inflation by creating their own self sufficient garden.
You will want to invest in a simple but complete seed-starting kit for the greatest success. Thankfully, you don't need a greenhouse or complicated and expensive systems! Here are a few options that have worked for me.
Hola que tal me encanto su manera de tener sus plantas muy practico saludos
Gracias!
Hey Steffie! I am putting this channel and this particular video and the resources on my “to do list” for learning/gleaning the goodness of this way to grow! Very appealing to me as I age because I want simplicity even though it would still require great works! So much more appealing than the dirt! I am beyond proud of you and all you have done! You are remarkable and your desire and determination to pursue the best for you and tour family is inspiring! Thank you! And btw, I sure have missed you! 🙏🏻✝️😇
Thank you Beneita!! I miss you!
This is a treasure channel. Thank you and I will follow you!
Thank you! I hope my information helps make growing easier!
Thanks for the efforts much appreciated,but why you are calling it hydroponics Rather than calling it aeroponics?
Aeroponics is a form of hydroponics and the tower gardens are sort of a hybrid of the 2. True aeroponics uses a misting system.
Love your videos. What do you recommend for nutrients if you don’t use the ones sold by Tower Garden? Would love to save some money on nutrients. And what are you using for ph testing and up and down solution? Thanks so much
Hi! I haven’t had time to research other nutrient options and branch away from Tower Garden solution. I have tried to look at a few but never found anything that saved enough to make learning something new worth it. For now I prefer the tower garden nutrients, the tower garden up and down and I actually still have ph testing supplies that came with my towers so I use that. I actually rarely have to test my ph and add any up and down just because I have gotten so familiar with our water and growing patterns of plants at this point. If you find anything interesting in way of nutrients let me know!
I use Fox Farm Grow Big Hydroponic Liquid Plant Food. Starting to experiment mixing in Epsom Salt for more Magnesium Sulphate (helps with any yellowing in leaves)
I have just purchased a Flex Tower Garden and will keep it in my basement. Its is a bright area with north facing sliders so I know I will need lights but my question is temp. My basement is a consistent 60ish degrees in winter. Do you heat your garage where you have your towers? If 70s are needed will a water heater in the tank compensate for lower air temps?
Exciting!! I keep my garage at 62. Everything grew amazing at that temp but I didn’t try to have peppers, eggplant and tomatoes. You really need to be a warmer for those things. I have tank heaters. They do offer a little added warmth but not enough for true heat loving summer crops. You can grow all the cool season vegetables though! I didn’t use my tank heaters at all this winter.
If you used my link let me know so I can send you my e-books!
@The Aeroponic Tower Channel I bought the Flex used for $225.00 (base, 2 pumps, 4 sections, net pots, and ph test bottle and drops) Just the basic system. I pd an extra $50.00 for brand new set of nutrients. I was not sure I should buy used lights, so I steered clear of that. Overall I thought I got a good deal. But I did order lights, a dolly and ph test kit through the company website. I did not use your link. Could I have done that for accessories?
I have only one water spicket that is direct from my artesian well. All others are softened. The directions said not to use softened or hard water so I did use the one non softened water spicket I have to fill my Flex. Don’ t know if it is hard water or not but likely since I am in NH and it is an artesian well lol. My ph after adding nutrients was a perfect 5.5. Does that mean it was not hard water? Not sure. What water do you use?
Hard water effects the ph but if your ph is holding I would try it and see before fussing with it. Hard water has more minerals.
Good morning, have you had any luck with iceberg lettuce in the tower garden indoors with the lights?
Yes, but you want to grow short season varieties and they don’t create those grocery store like heads indoors. I like Crispini varieties. Mini romaine grow quickly and are super crispy.
@The Aeroponic Tower Channel where do you purchase the crispini varieties? I could not find them in the bulk seed link you sent. Hope you don’t mind all these questions. I am trying to dial this in so that I am growing what we will actually eat.
Can you grow garlic on the tower? I haven’t heard you mention it yet. I imagine not, but unsure.
No, you can grow root and bulbing vegetables as long as the root is above the soil like a beat. Garlic has to develop under soil.
Good morning, how do you do growing spinach? My TG are indoors and I do well with most plants except spinach. If it grows at all I end up with white rust fungus and have to throw the plant out. Any thoughts?
Spinach doesn’t do great under artificial lighting. I have had some success but it bolts fast and isn’t really worth growing in my opinion for how little I get and how slow it grows. I found it better to just grow something similar. I really like Mabuna as an option. You can grow it in bundles and if you harvest it small it is very mild and reminds me of spinach. It grows a lot faster and is actually healthier than spinach. Another option is Tatsoi. It grow slower however.
@The Aeroponic Tower Channel Thanks so much. I thought this would be the case. So many other videos just show it growing soooo well. I will try the other options. Thanks again
@The Aeroponic Tower Channel Could you tell me where you buy the Mabuna seeds or do you buy live plants?
@Carol M I rarely buy plants because it’s so expensive and never buy greens as plant starts because I go through them quickly so it’s not worth the money. This is a green I grow and harvest in about 4 weeks on a tower so I heavily seed them, harvest the whole thing and start over. You want to buy seeds in bulk if you grow that way to say money. Here is a link where you can buy Mabuna in bulk. I have some videos on how I do this and I will have a free growing green mini course in my app soon. The key is buy seeds in bulk. Start seeds every two weeks. Harvest the whole plant and start over. They keeps me with loads of fresh greens to eat weekly. https://www.trueleafmarket.com/products/mustard-seeds-mibuna
@The Aeroponic Tower Channel Hi, and thanks for the info. I visited the site you sent for bulk seeds and saw the Mibuna. So Mibuna is a mustard seed? But tastes like spinach??
👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is amazing never give up thank you so helpful definitely will be growing my own food.
You are so welcome! Here is my website https://theaeroponictowerchannel.com/landing-page/
Love your channel. Will be in touch soon. I have an Aerospring Hydroponics System (chose it because it has a tent to cover produce indoors) but these seem better for larger scale because you can stack up higher than 30 Cups and this company offers Support Cages. Will let you know when I purchase from your page
Awesome! I’m glad to help when you are ready. These do offer more space for larger food. You can pretty much grow anything in the Flex Unit and Most things in the Home Unit.
