Vertical Farming with Aeroponics: Top 7 Benefits of a Tower Farm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2024
- After having set up vertical farms using Tower Garden aeroponic systems in 30 countries on 5 continents, let us share with you the main benefits of a Tower Farm:
1. 95% water savings in comparison to soil farming
2. 80% space savings in comparison to conventional hydroponics
3. Low energy footprint
4. Nutrient density: aeroponic crops grown on a Tower Garden feature an increase in nutrient density and antioxidant levels.
5. Less pesticides
6. Versatility: Tower Farms can be set up can be set up outdoors, in a greenhouse, indoors with LED lights, or even on a rooftop.
7. No previous experience is required to start a Tower Farm!

Well said! I love that you can make monthly payments if you prefer because I bought one and the second I just made monthly payments and I just love them. Would love to get a couple more. It’s awesome to see them grow so fast, taste delicious, and the tower looks so beautiful!
Please would you send me the details of contact number and address thanks.
Listen to this though, you had to make payments to obtain a piece of plastic to hold water and plants. This is hundreds of % markup for nothing more than profit.
I have been intrigued by tower farming for some time now, primarily as a means of cultivating my own produce on my terrace. While the terrace is sizeable, it does not qualify as a proper garden, making it challenging to grow fruits and vegetables. However, with tower farming, I am confident that I can effectively cultivate the crops I need in a relatively small area. I stumbled upon your channel today and was immediately impressed, prompting me to subscribe. I hope to have ample time in the coming days and weeks to browse through those of your videos that pique my interest. Thank you for sharing your expertise and the considerable effort you have invested in creating these videos. 🙏🏼😎

Hey did you succeed I am also planning to do the same things in my terrace? Do they need controlled environment else we can left it out in open.
This is amazing, do you do any online training ? Please share if you have.
Hola saludos, ví un vídeo corto en facebook de sus estructuras verticales y no había dado con el autor, y por coincidencia después de 2 meses lo he encontrado aquí, esto me ha motivado a realizar mi proyecto con la estructura vertical, ahorra más espacio y el sistema es más innovador, me da mucha emoción ver sus trabajos me inspiran a ponerme en marcha, en este proyecto de vida. Lamentablemente en mi país ha Sido un camino difícil ahorrar e instalar el proyecto. Comencé creando ya mi empresa, se llama Ecoagro Corporacion, C.A espero algún poder conocerlos en persona.
De dónde eres brother?
Enjoyed the video,ty so much for sharing, subbed
Thanks for the sub!
You are THE BEST ! Really I love your Job !! BRAVO
Thank you! 😃
Well presented… Amazing to see how prolific the crops are in this video. My Tower Garden is outdoors in Arizona….this is brutal on most plants except cucumbers and squash…It seems that the protection of a greenhouse is best for summers here…. On the other hand, our winters are mild enough for bumper crops of lettuce grown in my backyard Tower.
These aeroponic towers can be set up in almost any climate except for extremely low temperatures below freezing or very high temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. In such cases, indoor growing or a climate-controlled greenhouse may be required.
@Agrotonomy
How do I order and how do I get them as I don't live in America? And what is the prices please
Amazing, I'm looking forward to own an Aeroponic farm soon.
We'd love to help you get your hands on one of our aeroponic towers! International shipping is available, and you can place an order through our website: 🌱 agrotonomy.com/
These guys sell overpriced hydroponic towers.
Absolutely fantastic , really nice one .
Love this video and thanks so much for sharing. One minor correction. Energy consumption is in watt hours or kilo watt hours not watts. At 0:48, your pump is consuming 45 watts of power. Run for the whole hour, it would consume 45 watt hours ( 45Wh) worth of electricity. Since it only runs for 12 minutes out of an hour, it consumes 45W * 12/60 h = 9Wh. Running for 24 hrs, it's 216Wh per day, not 216 watts per day. And yes, 216Wh per day x 30 days is 6,480Wh or 6.48kWh x $0.16 per kWh = $1.04 per month in the US. Awesome energy efficiency. Is the pump on for 12 minutes straight every hour, or 6 minutes every 30 minutes, or something else?
If you consider the plants in the tower are only using 1-2 gallons a day and the 45w pump runs for a full 4.8 hours a day the energy efficiency is woeful.
this is revolutionary
excelent project
Very useful video. Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Hy plz make full details video how I learn this farming from beginner to advance and from where I got resources and how make it buget friendly as I'm in India. From where get towers and other required material.
Hi I would love to use this I'm Somalia. How much would this setup cost per tower. I'm thinking of producing only lettuce in one hectare shade net greenhouse. I.e. 10000sqm could house 5000 towers?
Hello, how did you connect many water pumps? Can you show the electrical circuit? thank you.
It would be nice if you link the mentioned studies in the description!
1.1k for a tower seems really expensive. At first, at least, without understanding very much of it. I have to admit that I have to look into this kind of growing more. I am yet very uninformed and I know that quality - in the long run - is a big, big factor. The video seems very interesting. Thank you ver much.
still expensive even after you look into it you can build it yourself
Yep. It's really not complicated at all.
You can build a genuine aeroponic tower with mist for substantially less (15%) than these overpriced misrepresented hydroponic towers.
Vegetables and fruits produced on plain soil are most healthy by far. They grow slower, yield less yet organisms that feed on them get better immune systems.
Sangat menarik. Cocok untuk lahan kecil juga😊
Biaya peralatannya yg mahal jika pakai peralatan standar induatri. Kecuali mau usaha sendiri modif pakai paralon
Mê vườn rau này quá.
The best aeroponic system right now
Its hydroponic not aeroponic and as such it wont provide any of the benefits associated with aerponics.
Where it is located. Any farm in Ireland
@@atomizer2665 it is aeroponic. Not hydroponic. The roots are not constantly in water. You might want to think and educate yourself before replying to a truthful post.
Using your definition, a timed NFT would be aeroponic and a DWC bucket run as a flood and drain would also be aeroponic but, just like the tower garden, they are definitely hydroponic.
Sinkarably
What happens if you can book her get the grow solution? Are there others options?
Thanks for sending vedio😊

We use 5 gallon buckets and grow about 12 plants per bucket.
I wish I could afford. I think I will be making my own.
Thankyou brother
Would the water be filtered passing all those roots from watering & collected for more use?
Lettuce share with you this amazing tower
Awedome stuff!
We need to get Temu on this…
Thank you sir
Hello I have a question, when we talk about traditional soil culivation, we need nitrifying (or more) soil bacteria and fungus that live in symbiosis with the plants to be grown, is this the same for aeroponic method ? can we totally make the vegetable growing without these bacteria and fungus that transform nutrients ?
Aeroponic and hydroponic systems are usually meant to be sterile, and they typically use synthetic nutrients.
I am from nepql can you help me for what kind of management sir ? I want do also this
How to set up it and what is the cost set up in 5000 square feet, Can you please let me know please make one video with budget and what would be the cost in india?
Wah Good❤
12w per tower is still expensive...cant really scale it efficiently,better use solar power but eve then just cs of set up is a turn off
Great innovation,,I love it, question,how can I acquire some of those tower...

Can this vertical farming be done with corn? I do have other fruits and plants to grow as well
I was just wondering the same here as well
Mujhe bhi Aisa pharming karna hai iske liye main kaise kya Karun ab mujhe bataiye sar
im subbed, i wanna do this.
Love this! How does the flavor compare to traditional farming methods?
Aeroponically grown plants have 100% availability of oxygen at the root level, which improves their ability to absorb nutrients. As a result, whether it's nutrient density, antioxidant levels, or flavonoid levels, soil farming crops rank among the best ever tested. Increased nutrient density, flavonoids, and antioxidant levels translate to better taste and vegetables with the right texture and water content!
@@Agrotonomy
That only holds true for plants grown in ga genuine aeroponic system, the tower garden is a hydroponic system.
@@atomizer2665 you don’t know what you’re talking about. This is aeroponic. Do some research. It’s not that difficult.
@@drgrundoon333
I know exactly what i`m talking about :) I`m afraid you have been mislead by the creative advertising that Tower Garden and others use to convince folks their product is aeroponic when its actually hydroponic. A t best its a vertical NFT, at worst its a drip system either way its hydroponic. A genuine aeroponic system can be run to waste, you cant run a tower garden to waste. The tower garden has to pump literally hundreds of gallons a day in order to supply the plants with just the gallon or two they actually use. A genuine aeroponic system would be able to deliver no more than the one to two gallons the plants need. If the tower garden is aeroponic why does it need to use 11x more power than an aeroponic system? A genuine aeroponic system doesnt need to recirculate the nutrients because it is able to deliver just what the plants need or use. This is a huge benefit, the nutrient elemental content is always optimal. There is no risk of debris , pathogens or contamination of the nutrient because nothing ever comes back from the root chamber. You cant do this with a tower garden becuase, being hydroponic, its forced to deliver 100`s of gallons a day,. not just one or two. If you compare the "aeroponic"roots grown in a tower garden to hydroponic roots they will look exactly the same. If you compare them to genuine aeroponic roots, even a blind man would know they are not aeroponic because he would be able to feel the difference. TG roots are long but sparse and absolutely soaking wet. Genuine aeroponic roots are barely damp, pure white and almost feathery in appearance, basically nothing remotely close to hydroponic roots ua-cam.com/video/l1Rmm9JvPfY/v-deo.html
I plan to run a side by side test with a genuine aeroponic tower and an identical tower using the same irrigation method as the tower garden. I will monitor and record the water, nutrient and power use of both towers and compare root and shoot growth. The tower garden only claims to be better than traditional soil growing, a genuine aeroponic system will outperform both soil and hydroponics. The tower garden doesnt claim to do better than hydroponics because it is hydroponic. The blog on the tower garden website conveniently forgets to mention that NASA used mist . It simply says:
{quote} Advancements like aeroponic technology, first introduced by NASA, relies simply on water and key nutrients, rather than soil. {quote}
Source: www.towergarden.com/blog.read.html/en/2020/5/beginners-guide-to-aeroponic-gardening.html
Its all half truths and creative advertising, most folks understand that hydroponics also relies on water and key nutrients rather than soil.
@@atomizer2665 okay you’re definitely educated but I’m afraid you are splitting hairs the aeroponic system/method you speak of is true high pressure. Nowhere in tower garden videos or marketing do they refer to their system as high pressure.
Bu kuleleri ve malzemeleri nerden satin alabilirim.
Can you mix the crop ie. Different types of leafy vegetables on each tower?
You can, but it is not ideal for optimal growth (fastest growth) as most people who do hydroponic tailor nutrient solutions and light exposure for a specific species.
Super 😊😊😊😊
hopefully you will visit the philippines and teach us how to make these aeroponics or hydroponics.
We have setup 2 Tower Farms in the Philippines. You can learn more about these aeroponic towers by visiting our website: 🌱 agrotonomy.com
It's well known how..
Is this crop genitically modified?
as proffessionel gardener i'm jealous and i need that
I want to make this aeroponic tower garden how to make
why not put a tilapia in one of the base of the towers and uses it as a hydroponic system. Genuienly asking
I want the full detail of vertical farming from beginning and the investment and also the atmosphere . If you tell me i will be very thankful. Love from India
Cool
do you have any solution to order from Asia country?
Tolong bantu saya dimana kami harus menemukan produk ini untuk memesan nya
May i know if we want to put these towers in a greenhouse what type of greenhouse should it be and what material? Like plastic glass etc
You can learn more about the greenhouse requirements by visiting our website: agrotonomy.com
May I know if the materials are made of BPA free or food grade materials?
The Sicce pump that sits in the nutrient reservoir 24/7 is not food grade so it really doesnt matter what material the tower is made from. :)
nice
Amazing 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
So I have a question. I have room in my yard, but it doesn't get enough sunlight.. What could I do.. or should I just move them..
If you arrange the towers from north to south, every side of the tower will get sufficient distribution of light.
👌
How are you? I am in South Africa and I am interested in having a rooftop greenhouse farm with aeroponic towers. How many towers of 67cm basin width would ideally be placed in a 30m x 10m greenhouse. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated ❤
Although technically a tower uses less than 1m², we advise allowing 2m² (approximately 20ft²) per tower: this includes enough space for the towers, the dosing station, the aisle spacing, and the propagation bench area. In other terms, in a 300m² space like yours, you will be able to fit up to 150 towers.
@@Agrotonomy Thank you very much for your input. I greatly appreciate it

This should also be manufactured in India, it'll probably be a win-win situation, because importing from other countries is very expensive with respect to our Purchasing Power(PPP). India is the second largest food producing country in the world. There are no such modern technologies used in the Indian Cultivation system. India has the second largest population in the world. The majority of UA-cam users are from India. Even the biggest UA-cam channel is based on India. So please I request you to think about manufacturing Tower Gardens in India.
Set up your own manufacturing facility. It's a very basic system.
Can you send it to Sri Lanka?
Wanted to know what chemical is put in water before planting
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.
Do you have any aeroponics course? I would like to develop aeroponics in Peru

great teaching tool. well done ,good math.
Great math? The pump runs for 4.8 hours a day and the plants only use 1-2 gallons a day. Consider how much power is being wasted pumping water to the tower unnecessarily. If this tower was genuinely aeroponic, the pump would run for no more than 24 minutes a day. This is an over priced hydroponic tower, not an aeroponic tower.

What kinda of food are you giving the plants?
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.
Tremendous.
Please wake up. This is how they want you eating

It depends on the size of the tower. For more information, please read the following article: agrotonomy.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-tower-garden-and-a-tower-farm/
Can you regrow from the plant without removing the roots
While you can cut and regrow, the second harvest would not be as bountiful as the first. We choose to harvest with roots intact to extend shelf life and add the roots to our compost.
How to make the procedure plz tell us..sir..

These aeroponic towers can be set up in almost any climate except for extremely low temperatures below freezing or very high temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. In such cases, indoor growing or a climate-controlled greenhouse may be required.
Hi new subscriber here do your tower have green house?
Thanks for subscribing! Our farm is located outdoors, but we have successfully setup commercial aeroponic tower farms in climate-controlled greenhouses.
This design can make sunlight laser hundred thousand wat laser or 2,000 psi water pressure
Yeah but does it taste as good as soil grown vegetables?
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.

Why not using solar panels to operate motor
Ensuring a stable electricity supply is indeed crucial for a vertical farm utilizing aeroponic towers. Many farms address this by incorporating solar panels to maintain a continuous power source. However, it's important to note that the towers can withstand a few hours without electricity, and the plants will recover without any issues.

12mins running time per hour!
I have been running 15min on and 15min off
I run mine 2 seconds every 3 minutes, 40 seconds an hour. Its not something you can do with the tower garden, because it doesnt use mist. The tower garden is a hydroponic tower that costs 6x more than a genuine aeroponic tower and it uses at least 11x more power. I wouldnt have one if it was for free :)
but its very expensive
What about rain? Could you do it in a country where it rains almost throughout the year? I couldn't find the answer to my question which is that one thing that's holding me back.
Yes rain can change water ph so you can use a transparent rooftop for rain protection or plastic or may be a tarpulin will help. I am not an expert on this, hopefully you will get a reply from the experts.
Rain will not significantly affect anything as its very hard for a raindrop to get in the system. For example put a cup of water outside, and consider how long it takes to fill up compared to the surroundings. If water does get in though, all it does is dilute the solution, so remove some liquid so the system doesn't flood and spill out, and add some nutrients. You can reintroduce the liquid you took out after adding nutrients to that as well, but generally people just throw out old solution just in case of disease spread or algae formation.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj
The leaves on every plant will direct water into the tower and ultimately down into the reservoir. Throwing out the nutrient will benefit the company, the mineral blend nutrient costs less than
@@atomizer2665 The leaves direct water away from the stem in the same way a tree canopy does. Rain isn't going to flood tower systems.
You should exchange old nutrient solution. It's not about making money, its about the fact there is bacteria in the air that will rob the roots of access to nutrients if it colonizes the water and accumulates. You can test this out for yourself by growing multiple generations of plants with water exchange or with only top off. The top off will start to get weaker with each generation. Old nutrient solution can be added to regular in dirt plants like trees if you really want to not waste anything as it is more competitively inhibited. Unlike the dirt, hydroponic systems do not have stuff like worms eating up and keeping the microbe population in check.
Alternatively you could boil it to sterilize it, but I think you will spend more in fuel if you buy from concentrate.
