Gardening Sensation Eat better, save money— No dirt, no weeds, no slugs!

From this … To this … find out how!

Grow your own food in your backyard or on a balcony! Have you ever wished you had time for gardening? Does gardening seem like it’s just too much work? A tower garden in your own back yard could be the answer.

You don’t have to dig in the dirt or pull weeds anymore! This garden is a vertical garden that operates with a low voltage pump. You don’t need a “green thumb.”

It comes with everything you need to start gardening. It is easy to assemble and fun for the whole family. Grow your garden from seeds in a very short time.

You’ll start seedlings using the seed kit provided or use your own seeds. When they are approximately two to three inches tall, you’ll transport them into your Tower Garden.

People care about sustainable gardening for their own health and the health of the environment.

If you worry about using pesticides and chemical fertilizers that can poison the air and soil, growing your own organic food in an aeroponic garden makes so much sense.

To help control aphids and other flying pests, plant nasturtium and marigolds in your tower. These encourage the beneficial insects like ladybugs which will then eat the aphids, helping your plants to be more vigorous.

Cherry tomatoes beginning to flower with cucumbers and nasturtium… We placed a pot of marigolds on top of the tower to encourage beneficial insects.

Sweet cherry tomatoes growing rapidly— The promise of things to come. We had hundreds of tomatoes from only two plants!

Cucumbers ready to pick! From seeds in the middle of April — to a cucumber big enough to eat at the end of June.

Pruning tomatoes allows sun to get to the plants on the inside of the Tower. If you look closely you will see the cut marks on the tomato vines which allowed for more robust basil and other herbs growing with the tomatoes.

Put a farmers market on your back porch! For more information, contact me soon.
