Description
Workers with limited mobility can use Hydroponic Tower Growing Systems to grow vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers for sale or use. They utilize less than 10% of area, space, water, and nutrients than regular soil growing systems. Hydroponic growing systems use a nutrient rich solution pumped to the top of the tower, which then flows back down, providing nutrients for the plants. Hydroponic plants are supposed to grow three times as fast as normal plants and
With an Aeroponic Tower Growing System, home and commercial growers alike are able to produce a wide variety of vegetable, fruit, herb, and flower crops reportedly utilizing less than 10% of the space, water, and nutrients required by traditional soil-based growing methods and in significantly less amount of time. Aeroponics is a hydroponic system in which plant roots are suspended in air and intermittently soaked with a nutrient-rich solution. The solution is pumped from the reservoir to the top of the tower then courses back down, continuously feeding the plant roots, then returns to the reservoir to again be pumped back up to the top. The towers, ranging from 5 to 10 feet tall, can be single ‘gardens’ for the home grower, or lined up in double rows for several hundred feet, creating plant sites of 120,000 to 250,000 plants per acre for the commercial grower.
