I met Nancy Couch the other day while taking a brewery tour in Marietta.
She mentioned that she has a business called Tower Garden.
What is a Tower Garden? I went to Nancy’s site to find out and here is what it said. “Tower Garden® is a state-of-the-art vertical aeroponic growing system. It’s perfect for rooftops, patios, balconies, terraces—just about any relatively sunny place outside.” The web site also says the Tower Garden will yield up to 30% more produce on average compared to traditional gardening methods.
Reminds me of the “Living with the Land” exhibit at Epcot where trees and vines grow in soil-less environments.
You can buy one for a one time payment of $525 plus shipping and tax - compared to buying organic
at the market - it pays for itself many times over!! And you can make 12 payments
of $45!!! It comes with everything you need to start and maintain a garden including specially formulated plant food and gourmet seeds. You can have up to 20 plants per tower. An extension kit can be purchased which will allow you to grow up to 28 plants in one tower.
Soil free means there isn’t any weeding. You can place it on patios, decks, porches, balconies, terraces or rooftop garden areas. This is great news for city folk who really would like to step outside and pick salad fixings or tomatoes for sandwiches.
You don’t have to grow vegetables or fruit. You can also grow herbs or flowers. You will need to germinate the seeds and then transfer them into the Garden Tower. It will grow anything except root vegetables, grapevines, bushes, and trees.
Having a Garden Tower is not all maintenance free so you will still need to do some work. You may still have to combat garden pests and algae buildup. And of course you'll need to feed the plants.
If you are interested, here is Nancy’s web page.
