Maximizing dill cultivation by growing up to 450 bunches of dill per aeroponic tower annually. When growing dill on aeroponic towers, we prefer compact varieties such as Teddy or Thalia instead of traditional dill varieties. Traditional dill can easily reach 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) in height, making it impractical for vertical growing systems. Whereas compact varieties stay much smaller, typically reaching only 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 inches) in height, with a dense and bushy growth habit, making them far better suited for aeroponic towers. We recommend sowing five dill seeds per growing port to maximize yields and optimize space on an aeroponic tower. Once transplanted, the seedlings take approximately six weeks to reach maturity and be ready for harvest. #dill #farming #agriculture #gardening #horticulture #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

Maximizing lettuce cultivation by growing up to 624 heads per aeroponic tower annually. We start by sowing seeds into agricultural rock wool, then cover each hole with vermiculite to improve germination. In approximately two weeks, seedlings are ready to be transplanted onto the aeroponic towers. It then takes one month of growth until the lettuce is ready for harvest. #lettuce #farming #agriculture #gardening #horticulture #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

This method of farming allows you to grow over 160 different crops without using soil, saving both water and space, while enabling crops to grow significantly faster than in traditional soil. Crops grown on aeroponic towers have been shown in scientific comparative studies to match the nutrient density of the best organically grown produce, including the levels of flavonoids and antioxidants. Aeroponic systems offer precise control over both macro- and micronutrients, ensuring optimal plant health and consistent flavor. This versatile growing system can be used outdoors, indoors with LED lighting, or in greenhouse environments. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

This method of farming allows you to grow over 160 crops without soil, using a fraction of the water and space compared to traditional agriculture. Whether outdoors, indoors under LED lights, or in a greenhouse, aeroponic towers operate on a single nutrient solution and dosage for all crops, no need to adjust per variety. The roots are suspended in air and irrigated intermittently (3 minutes on, 12 minutes off), allowing the roots to spend 80% of their time in the air. This increases the nutrient absorption and growth rates, while creating a stable environment where diverse crops thrive side by side on the same tower. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

When growing outdoors on aeroponic towers, it’s essential to choose crops that match your local seasons. For example, cauliflower won’t thrive in summer heat, and tomatoes will not tolerate the winter cold. A smart planting strategy that aligns crops with the time of year is key to maximizing yields and maintaining healthy plant growth. However, if you're growing in a climate-controlled greenhouse or indoors with LED lighting, you can regulate temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. This gives you the flexibility to grow virtually any crop year-round, regardless of the season. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

The versatility of an aeroponic tower is unmatched, you can grow nearly any vegetable, herb, flower, or fruit, as long as it's an annual plant that completes its life cycle within a year. The main limitations are root vegetables (like carrots or beets), tuber crops (such as potatoes), and most fruits, as they typically grow on trees. However, you can successfully grow fruits like strawberries and melons. Because the system is soil-free and uses nutrient-enriched water to nourish plant roots, plants grow faster and often produce higher yields compared to traditional soil-based methods. The vertical design maximizes growing space while minimizing water usage, making it perfect for urban environments, small patios, greenhouses, or indoor setups. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

Maximizing bok choy cultivation per square meter on aeroponic towers. Bok choy is a fast growing leafy vegetable requiring only 5 weeks to reach maturity from the day you transplant the seedling. You can get up to 52 bok choy on a single tower. #bokchoy #farming #agroculture #gardening #vegetables #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

From seed to harvest, this is how we maximize bush bean cultivation by growing up to 18 bean plants per aeroponic tower. #beans #farming #gardening #agriculture #hydroponics #towergarden #aeroponics #soilless

Jalapeños take nearly 85 days to reach maturity from seed. When grown on an aeroponic tower, we can cultivate up to 16 jalapeño plants vertically. Once harvested, a great way to preserve your jalapeños is by pickling them in a brine solution, which can extend their shelf life by several months. To make pickled jalapeños, start by preparing your brine solution. Brine Preparation: • 1 liter of white vinegar • 1 liter of water • 5 tablespoons of salt • 8 tablespoons of sugar • 2.5 tablespoons of mustard seeds • 2 cloves of garlic • 3 bay leaves Instructions: • Pack the jar with sliced jalapeños. • In a saucepan, bring your brine to a boil. Stir to dissolve everything. • Pour the hot brine over the jalapeños until they’re fully submerged. • Let the jar cool to room temperature. • Seal and store in the fridge. They’ll be tasty after 24 hours, but the flavor deepens after 3 to 5 days. #jalapenos #farming #agriculture #gardening #pickling #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

Maximizing broccoli cultivation by growing up to 14 broccoli plants per aeroponic tower. Broccoli is a slow grower and can take up to 70 days to reach maturity from the time you transplant the seedling. However, it also takes 1 month from the time you sow the seed until the you have a seedling ready for transplanting. If you are dealing with cabbage worms on your brassicas (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.), we recommend using an organic pesticide known as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). Bt is a naturally occurring bacterium that specifically targets caterpillar larvae without harming beneficial insects, humans, or the environment. When ingested by the worms, it disrupts their digestive system, causing them to stop feeding. It’s safe, effective, and approved for organic farming, making it an ideal preventative treatment to protect your brassica crops from early damage. #broccoli #farming #agriculture #gardening #horticulture #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

This method of farming is a game changer, allowing you to grow over 160 different crops without soil, using a single nutrient solution and an automated irrigation schedule. Unlike traditional hydroponics, there’s no need to adjust nutrient formulas per crop. The plants absorb only what they need during each irrigation cycle. Aeroponic towers run on a precise irrigation cycles of 3 minutes on, 12 minutes off. This keeps roots suspended in air 80% of the time, maximizing oxygen exposure and enhancing nutrient absorption. Whether you’re growing outdoors, indoors under LEDs, or in a greenhouse, the same method applies. Once seedlings are transplanted, the process becomes fully automated. A gravity-fed central tank continuously refills the towers and is linked to a nutrient dosing station, which automatically maintains the ideal 1:300 ratio. With no need for manual refills or crop-specific adjustments, you can grow leafy greens, fruiting crops, herbs, veggies, and flowers side by side on the same tower. The only remaining tasks are sowing seeds, transplanting, and occasional pest or fungus monitoring, which can all managed organically. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

Cultivating leeks vertically on aeroponic towers offers an efficient strategy for optimizing yields per square meter, significantly conserving water resources, and minimizing land use. Despite their slow growth rate, leeks are particularly well-suited for planting in the winter. The cooler temperatures align with their natural growth cycle, allowing you to harvest them by late spring. #leeks #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics

Maximizing celery cultivation by growing up to 364 celery plants per aeroponic tower annually. When growing celery on the towers, it takes 50 days to reach maturity from the day you transplant the seedlings. However, celery is notoriously slow to germinate, requiring up to 21 days just to germinate. It then can take 4 to 6 weeks post-germination until the seedling has reached a size for transplanting. To avoid overcrowding, sow one seed per cube of agricultural rock wool. Multiple seeds in one port will compete for space and stunt each other’s growth. #celery #farming #agriculture #gardening #horticulture #aeroponics #soilless #hydroponics

12 weeks growth of stock flowers on 4 aeroponic towers. Stock flowers (Matthiola incana) are cool-weather, fragrant flowering plants that are edible and belong to the Brassicaceae family (same family as cabbage). The flavor of stock flowers is mild and slightly spicy, making them an excellent complement to both sweet and savory dishes. We were joined by Anaïs Beltran @Anaïs Beltran who is a plant-based & botanical chef, in order to make an amazing blueberry-raspberry raw cake with almonds, pistachios & edible stock flowers. This cake is a no-bake, raw cake that’s naturally sweet, vegan, and gluten-free. Perfect as a nourishing treat that looks as magical as it tastes. Ingredients for the crust: * 200 g pitted dates * 200 g blanched almonds * 80 g raw pistachios * 2 pinches of sea salt * A few stock flowers petals for decoration For the creamy filling (used in both layers): * 400 g cashews (soaked 5 hours or overnight) * 400 ml canned coconut milk * 4 heaping tablespoons coconut oil * 100 ml agave syrup * Juice of 1.5 lemons * 150 g blueberries (fresh or frozen) * 150 g raspberries (fresh or frozen) * 2 handfuls of stock flowers Instructions 1. Make the crust: In a food processor, blend the dates, almonds, pistachios, and salt until a sticky dough forms. Press it evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. 2. Prepare the cream base: Drain the cashews. Blend them with coconut milk, coconut oil, agave syrup, and lemon juice until ultra-smooth and creamy. 3. Create the blueberry layer: Pour half the cream into a bowl. Leave the other half in the blender, add the blueberries, purple stock flowers, and blend. Pour this violet layer over the crust. Chill in the fridge for a few minutes to set slightly. 4. Create the raspberry layer: Pour the other half of the saved cream into the blender, add the raspberries, pink stock flowers, and blend until smooth. Gently pour this second layer over the blueberry layer to create a beautiful two-tone effect. 5. Let it set: Refrigerate overnight or freeze for 2–3 hours until firm enough to slice cleanly. 6. Serve & store: Decorate just before serving with more berries, chopped pistachios, and edible flowers. Keeps up to 5 days in the fridge. #harvest #gardening #flowergarden #flowerfarm #vegancake #rawcake #flowercake

Aeroponic tower farming redefines what's possible in agriculture by producing high yields in minimal space with a fraction of the water. By growing plants vertically without soil, this system can support up to 52 crops per square meter while using 95% less water than conventional farming. Whether you're cultivating leafy greens, herbs, vegetables, fruits, or edible flowers, over 160 crop varieties thrive in this controlled environment. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #verticalfarming #vegetables #hydroponics #soilless

All these crops were grown on aeroponic towers without the use of soil. The plants receive all the necessary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc.) and micronutrients (iron, manganese, boron, zinc, etc.) that are required for healthy plant growth from an ionic mineral nutrient solution that is automatically mixed into the water. The roots of these crops are suspended in air for 80% of the time, maximizing oxygen exposure and nutrient absorption. This high-efficiency method not only accelerates plant growth but also uses up to 95% less water and 90% less space than traditional farming methods. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless

The plants grown on aeroponic towers are nourished with an ionic mineral nutrient solution that contains all the essential macronutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) and micronutrients (including iron, copper, manganese, and more) required for optimal plant health and development. This solution is automatically diluted at a 1:300 ratio using a water-powered dosing pump called a Dosatron, which operates without electricity. In practical terms, this means that for every 300 liters of water entering the farm, exactly 1 liter of nutrients is added. The nutrient-rich water is then stored in a gravity tank positioned approximately 0.6 meters above ground level. Using only gravitational force, the nutrient water is distributed to each tower's reservoir through irrigation feeding lines, where float valves maintain consistent nutrient levels in the bottom reservoirs. #farming #agriculture #gardening #aeroponics #vegetables #verticalfarming #hydroponics #soilless
