@@Agrotonomy Thank you for responding. However, that is a selective comparison. Could you please tell us where the differences lie, and cite some bona fide scientific studies on this that cover the whole picture? This could help many of us weigh the benefits objectively, since ultimately, the benefit of food is its nutrition, more than convenience of cultivation method. Certainly, some nutrients or nutritional qualities are not equally conductive in both soil and water mediums. Could you also please address the source of the nutrients that go into the hydroponic water? Are they derived from nature and organic, or are they from chemical compounds, or some other manmade source? If the latter, what entity certifies them, and what are the longterm health risks, likewise, backed by scientific studies? Thank you.
How is this accurate? My tower garden has a reservoir of nearly 20gallons… I understand it is less water used than the soil but is it really less than 1gallon?
For lettuce you`ll find the TG will use at least 3x the amount of water per lb as he claims in the video. If his claim was accurate, you `d be able to grow 25lb`s of lettuce from a single fill of the reservoir. That`s around 37 x 300g heads of lettuce per fill of the reservoir :) Fwiw, the cost of tower garden nutrient to fill the reservoir once is $6.34, plus the cost of the rockwool cubes, and 4 weeks of electrical power to run the tower at 216 w per day
Very cool, very expensive. Also, not everyone lives in a Mediterranean type climate. I couldn't grow anything for at least 4 months out of the year where I live.
Yes, verry eficient. My only concern is how healthy is for us to eat the plant. I am sure is all natural and BIO minerals and water added NOW. But i am sure is not how nature intend to evolve. I am sure in the long term this idea has its drawbacks. Respect the nature so you can be respected.
Aeroponic crops are very nutrient-dense, we use a 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution that provides all the essential minerals and trace elements for healthy plant growth. In terms of nutrient density levels, antioxidant levels, and flavonoid levels, crops grown on these towers rank as high as the best grown in soil while having over 30% increase in yields.
OK now let's talk about all the chemical fertiliser you have to use..... not to mention the bleach you have to use to not get alge. the water on the soil isn't wasted its used by many other beneficial flora. it also cools everything down through evaporation. this is just more consumerism, you aren't saving squat, just acting the part.
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
Its good to save water but the amount of hydrocarbons used in making all those pvc and plastic fittings is something to think about as well. Would be nice if could do a comparative analysis of traditional farming vs hydropoinc/aeroponic
Eventually we will develop forms of plastic that do decompose we’re gettin closer every year. But in the meantime maybe it would be a good idea to make some of these out of metal maybe
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 ?

Considering that the plants are growing vertically upwards off the ground, this drastically reduces the amount of pests that can access the plants. However, if we do have an insect issue, we use organic pest control such as neem oil, pyrethrin, thuricide, and agricultural soap (potassium salts).
Can you put different plants in one tower at the same time? For example, can I grow tomato, cucumber, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli all at once? Or is there a different nutrient mix for each plant?
Yes, you can grow different crops on a single aeroponic tower because we use the same nutrients and watering intervals. You can grow over 160 annual crops, including leafy greens, aromatic herbs, vegetables, as well as fruits like strawberries and melons, and even edible flowers.

Depending on how much electricity you use. As for the liquid ferterlizer and grower depending on how big you buy it. And the price for there is close to 1k but you can get it cheeper at other places like Amazon or your local garden store if they have it. You can even get those cheep hydroponic herb gardens and grow plants in that and even vegetables it does the same thing as this.
Its a hydroponic tower, a genuine aeroponic tower is able to deliver only the amount of water the plants need/use. Consider how much water is delivered by the pump if it runs for 4.8 hours a day. At 0.5 gpm, its 144 gallons a day! Fwiw, 35 mature lettuce in a genuine aeroponic tower (outdoors) need less than 5L / 1.3 gal a day. Delivering more water than the plant need is just a waste electrical power and only serves to increase the evaporative losses.

Looks good how about the power used to pump that water, fertilizer etc. in my garden sure use more water. But I don’t add synthetic fertilizer. Use cover crops. Plus you grow in plastic how long that last soil is forever
We begin by using seeds, which we place in agricultural rock wool made from basaltic rock. We give the seeds water until they sprout and become seedlings within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the type of plant. Next, we move the seedlings to an aeroponic tower. We feed our plants with a combination of water and a natural mineral nutrient solution. Using a low-wattage submersible pump, this nourishing blend circulates from the bottom of the tower. Once it reaches the top, it gently drizzles down, showering the roots and creating an optimal environment for nutrient absorption.
My biggest question is if you can use natural organic fertilizers or only synthetic ones and do u have any runoff at the end of the system? 🤔 Looks so cool!
Our nutrient solution, which consists solely of earth-based minerals and trace elements, cannot technically be labeled as organic since it does not originate from a living organism like worms. Minerals, in fact, are classified as inorganic substances. Nonetheless, our nutrient solution is free from harmful chemicals or artificial ingredients and contains only the necessary minerals and trace elements that plants need. These minerals are completely natural and not synthetic.

I love this method of growing food....it is a clever water and space saving system without pesticides.....a big smack on the face of big poisonous corporations 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These plants need pesticide protection as much as ground-based plants. Additionally, the nutrients have to be continually added to the water since the soil isn't able to provide them naturally. The "Big Poisonous Corporations" appreciate your support!

@@Agrotonomy If the pump runs for 4.8 hours a day..its hydroponic not aeroponic. If it was a genuine aeroponic tower you would only need to deliver a few gallons per day, not hundreds.
In europe it would cost around 250$ a year to run one pump... definitely need a few harvests 5o make up for that Edit: this info is a miscalculatiln which i fixed in a following comment.
@@sova... Its amazing that he considers running a 45w pump for 4.8 hours a day as "low energy usage". With a genuine aeroponic tower, the pump can run for less than an hour per week. The difference is the tower gardens hydroponic irrigation method forces you to deliver copious quantities of water per irrigation to ensure all of the roots receive enough. A genuine aeroponic tower is incredibly energy efficient because it uses mist.
@atomizer2665 Also every time the pump turns on, you get inrush current. That spikes up the energy bill too. It's not worth it unless you have a ton of space and live in an area that your electric bill won't cost an arm and a leg. Solar panels will help, but not everyone has money for solar.

Once it reaches the top, it gently drizzles down, showering the roots and creating an optimal environment for nutrient absorption.
@@Agrotonomy thank you so much 😊❤️🙏, I really would like to try your cool idea. 💡
My biggest question is if you can use natural organic fertilizers or only synthetic ones and do u have any runoff at the end of the system? 🤔 Looks so cool!
Our nutrient solution, which consists solely of earth-based minerals and trace elements, cannot technically be labeled as organic since it does not originate from a living organism like worms. Minerals, in fact, are classified as inorganic substances. Nonetheless, our nutrient solution is free from harmful chemicals or artificial ingredients and contains only the necessary minerals and trace elements that plants need. These minerals are completely natural and not synthetic.
How much it costs for one sq. meter to make all this arrangement
The price of an aeroponic tower can differ based on the quantity selected, tower setup, and shipping country. To learn more, we recommend visiting our website: agrotonomy.com/
How we can get these equipments in India?
how much is the other overheads. Electronic, towners, etc. Is it feasible to make it a business?
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
@@Agrotonomy wow, thank you so much for the info. I live in Canada, thinking about start a sizeable verti farm. Thanks for the info, gonna do some math. cheers
@@jdniuz1224
A genuine aeroponic tower with 35 lettuce would require the pump to run for less than 7 minutes a week. The Tower Garden is a hydroponic system, not aeroponic.
Could you please also provide comparative cost you need for electricity and other investments.
from my research,one tower can cost from thousands to tens of thousands each month
Hey brother just following your video's regularly .I am very interested in buying the tower . will be waiting for your reply
❤ from INDIA
How to get started do they ship to the Bahamas 🇧🇸
Wait how much electricity does it used to run the water pump????????
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
Nise, I need Lorne more.........
How much electricity do you use for the pump per tower
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
@@Agrotonomy thank you
So what is the cost of these towers and power needed?
The cost of an aeroponic tower can differ depending on the quantity chosen, tower configuration, and shipping location. Please visit our website for more information: agrotonomy.com
I love this method of growing food....it is a clever water and space saving system without pesticides.....a big smack on the face of big poisonous corporations 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These plants need pesticide protection as much as ground-based plants. Additionally, the nutrients have to be continually added to the water since the soil isn't able to provide them naturally. The "Big Poisonous Corporations" appreciate your support!
The guy in the video doesnt make these towers. He`s a reseller for Juice Plus, a big MLM corporation, how`s that for a slap in the face :)
Are the nutrients same from the ones from the soil?
There is a scientific comparative study that compares nutrient density levels, antioxidant levels, and flavonoid levels of crops grown in the soil and crops grown in the towers, it shows that aeroponic crops rank as high as the best grown in soil while having over 30% increase in yields. The study is featured on our website under the Beyond Organic page: agrotonomy.com/beyond-organic/
@Agrotonomy Thank you for answering my question. Next year I will try those towers.
With that you have to put nutrition in the water?
The water is mixed with a 100% ionic mineral nutrient solution providing all the essential minerals and trace elements that the crops need in order to thrive and be healthy.
I want to learn this😮😮
If you're interested in learning more about vertical farming with aeroponic towers, please visit our website: agrotonomy.com/
You put some fertilizer or just water?
We use a 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution that is mixed in the water which allows the plants to receive all the essential minerals and trace elements for healthy plant growth.
@@Agrotonomy tnx a lot. Found you link me some good products here? Tnx
Ok and question of the day how does the lettuce get the nutrients and minerals from the earth?
The plants get their nutrients from an ionic mineral nutrient solution that is soluble and mixed in the water. It provides all of the macronutrients and micronutrients necessary for healthy plant growth.
You use less water, but does tower run on electricity?
Each tower is equipped with a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts. It is on for 4.8 hours per day (3 minutes on and 12 minutes off continuously).
Yes, now compare the nutrition!! Definitely a huge difference. 😏😏😏

Im only seeing lettuce's grown in your towers can you show some other types of vegetables that can thrive please
You can grow over 160 different crops on these aeroponic towers including leafy greens, aromatic herbs, vegetables, fruits like strawberries and melons, and edible flowers because we use the same nutrient solution and irrigation cycle for all crops.
Will u give continous water supply to them or for some time?
Each tower is equipped with a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts. It is on for 4.8 hours per day (3 minutes on and 12 minutes off continuously).
Tq so much for your reply
And what is the cost of electricity needed for water pumps
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
What about electricity from non renewable sources to flow the water in the setup...??
Is there a tutorial to build this?
But what about the natural diversity of nutrients in soil? You can't imitate that in hydroponics.
Plants grown aeroponically have 100% availability of oxygen at the root level enhancing their ability to absorb nutrients. As a result, whether talking about nutrient density, antioxidant levels, or flavonoid levels where crops rank as high as the best ever tested with soil farming.
@@Agrotonomy Thank you for that reply. I went to your website and found this warning, in compliance with CalifProp 65:
California requires the following notice:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Could you please explain where those carcinogens are located (in the towers or in the solutions that go in the water or both? And exactly what carcinogens and proportions are in there? Thank you.
Whats the electronic footprint running that pump?
Isn’t this hydroponics not aeroponics? Why are you guys calling it aeroponics? I don’t see any mist
They are calling it "aeroponic" because they wouldnt be able to sell it for the same price if they called it "hydroponic" :)
How much fertilizer are you using? There's no way you can get that much without soil and compost. Something doesn't make sense.
Every liter of nutrients is diluted with 300 liters of water. We use a 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution that is mixed in the water which allows the plants to receive all the essential minerals and trace elements for healthy plant growth.
Please send entire process of plant growing equipment are assembled
We have uploaded several videos showcasing the assembly process of an aeroponic tower. Please feel free to check out our CZcams account!
Does it taste different?
What about Electricity ?
Could you please detail us on the cost involved in nutrients that is mixed in water,the seeds and the material that is used to grow the seed.... The total cost of a fully grown plant that is grown in organic soil and this method.....
Question how dose this system do in Arizona weather. I would like to do this type of growing but I don't know if I should do it out in the open or put them in a green house. Because of the harsh heat an sun. I think it would heat up the water in the system an hurt the plants in the system. Any info helps
You can set up these aeroponic towers in any climate except if it's below freezing or above 40 Celsius. In those cases, we would need to grow either indoors or in a climate-controlled greenhouse.
Do soil plants and water plants taste the same i need to know
Plants grown aeroponically have 100% availability of oxygen at the root level enhancing their ability to absorb nutrients. As a result, whether talking about nutrient density, antioxidant levels, or flavonoid levels where crops rank as high as the best ever tested with soil farming. Increase in nutrient density, flavonoids, and antioxidant levels also translates in superior taste and vegetables with the appropriate texture and water content.
What about the plastic? What about the soil microbiome and the carbon cycle?
Aeroponics are a niche solution for urban areas and non arable land, but cutting soil out of the food system is not progress…
Regenerative ag can reverse climate change, fix water cycles, and create food that is medicinal.
Where can we buy that towers and nutsol?
These aeroponic towers are available on our website. For more information about the nutrient solution that we use, and the residential and commercial towers, make sure to visit our website: agrotonomy.com/
How much electricity you are using?
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
How about insects and diseases you never mention them,?
Considering that the plants are growing vertically upwards off the ground, this drastically reduces the amount of pests that can access the plants. However, if we do have an insect issue, we use organic pest control such as neem oil, pyrethrin, thuricide, and agricultural soap (potassium salts).
What about the additives? What do we need to add to the water?
The water has an ionic mineral nutrient solution providing all the essential minerals and trace elements that the crops need in order to thrive and be healthy.
Would you send this list of additives to me or where it's listed? I actually care what I'm putting into my food.
Great great thing...l love it.😊
Bro that water is going where it belongs to. You're not saving anything. What do you think if you pour water to soil? Same thing when it rains. God help us.
As long as plastic pipes are there. There is a health risk in the long run. Should have towers with different materials
In the morning one side of plants don't get sunlight and in the afternoon to evening other side don't get sunlight
What about water use in producing electricity and chemicals and equipment
How much electricity does it take to run a tower per day ?
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
@@Agrotonomy that’s amazing. 🙏
@@sathi2293
It very energy inefficient compared to what a genuine aeroponic tower would use.
That's a LOT of ELECTRICITY!!!! It's not worth the money if you live somewhere like California.
Each pump for the commercial towers uses 45 watts per pump x 4.8 hours per day (3 minutes on, 12 minutes off). This is very low energy usage per day.
@@Agrotonomy
If the pump runs for 4.8 hours a day..its hydroponic not aeroponic. If it was a genuine aeroponic tower you would only need to deliver a few gallons per day, not hundreds.
In europe it would cost around 250$ a year to run one pump... definitely need a few harvests 5o make up for that
Edit: this info is a miscalculatiln which i fixed in a following comment.
@@sova...
Its amazing that he considers running a 45w pump for 4.8 hours a day as "low energy usage". With a genuine aeroponic tower, the pump can run for less than an hour per week. The difference is the tower gardens hydroponic irrigation method forces you to deliver copious quantities of water per irrigation to ensure all of the roots receive enough. A genuine aeroponic tower is incredibly energy efficient because it uses mist.
@atomizer2665 Also every time the pump turns on, you get inrush current. That spikes up the energy bill too.
It's not worth it unless you have a ton of space and live in an area that your electric bill won't cost an arm and a leg.
Solar panels will help, but not everyone has money for solar.
Could you please discuss about the avarage of electricity uased per 52 lettuce used?
Each tower uses a low-wattage submersible pump that operates at 45 watts for 4.8 hours of irrigation per day (3 min. on and 12 min. off). This means that at $0.18 kWh (average cost of electricity for households in the USA), it only costs about $1.20 in electricity per tower per month.
@@Agrotonomy thanks, very helpfull
At least 135kw/hr assuming they are in the tower for 4 weeks. For comparison, genuine aeroponic towers with 70 lettuce, same 4 weeks, 7.5kw/hr.
i would like to learn how to do this can you help me
Until the chinnese pump fails after 5 yrs or less and the firtilizer cost a crap load. Plus you forgot about drip systems for comparison.
