Unsure why tower gardens are so much $$ Trying to inform yourself to make the right hydroponic tower garden purchase? This video will give you all the information you need to make the right choice for you and your gardening needs. Indoor vertical aeroponic tower gardens are incredibly popular and trending upward. Tower gardens utilize the drip method of hydroponic gardening but if built properly, you will see amazing fruit and vegetables come out of your garden because they will be utilizing Aeroponics as well. at this point, you should just watch the video ;) - Навчання та стиль

I bought a $1,300 juice plus tower garden. I had it inside.
It is disassembled in my basement right now because it was dripping all over my floors, and then it started spraying all over.
Also, the light fixtures is really heavy. It's almost a 2 person job to reassemble after you have cleaned it. If you're less than 6 feet tall, you have to hold the heavy assembly over your head and line two rods up with 2 holes. Sounds easy, except the whole assembly is sprinkled with round holes for the water to drip through. You need to find the 2 that are slightly bigger and have absolutely no markings on them.
I replaced it with 2 elevated planter boxes I made myself out of cedar planks. I use half gallon mason jars as my containers, I have an air pump on the bottom shelf, and each plant has an air stone. I also have one 36" light on each planter box. It's much prettier.
Not to mention how awesome towers look !
Very informative, you for sure hit your target audience with me!!! Thank you for the awesome video 😊
👏 well said thanks for talking about plastic. That was my last deciding factor for going with the tower garden
How’d I miss this?! Great video!
Thanks Eric! I'm still putting together the "Are Aquaponics a sustainable answer?" Thanks for watching bro, I really appreciate your support!
Thank you this was really helpful ❤
I'm so glad!
Hey can you keep the tower garden videos coming especially in winter because I have the Flex I love it but seeing someone else’s success is so helpful
Thank you that was a lot of useful information.
Absolutely! I just started up my website so feel free to check it out for more hopefully very useful info :)

Great video. Thanks
very helpful, thanks
Thanks a lot man for sure got me started in the right direction
Excellent! Your so welcome :)
Makes sense! Thanks bruh!
Absolutely!
I ❤ your videos!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
This is completely new to me but now I’m interested!!! 😁 We have spent thousands building raised beds and they dry out daily.
We already have the materials to build one more but after that one is built ~ I’m leaning toward trying this. 😂
I am so excited for you to try a tower garden! You will wonder why you didn't know about them sooner. I did beds, both raised and rows in ground for years. My first tower garden I COMPLETELY filled, Cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cantaloupe, dill, cilantro, romaine, green beans, and Kale. it all grew super fast and tasted super good. I changed the water 3 times over 4 months and set everything else to a timer. no top watering at all and I used 90% less water to grow 20 huge plants in 1/3 the time, I was hooked. That was the start of this channel :)
What pump do you recommend for the diy TG
? Thanks
Thanks, great video
Glad you liked it!
this man is a genius, he obviously knows what hes talking about, from experience, and is very well informed.
This is unbelievably kind! Thank you for your generous comment. Feel free to check out more of what I do over on my site :)

Hi, if I use foggers instead of water, what other thing should I add to the vertical garden?
Any tower gardens you could recommend for growing cannabis?
Looking to have 4-6 plants per tower and 10-12 towers in a greenhouse.
Where can I find the juice + tower garden? All sorts pop up when I put that into the browser.
Hi, great to see another of your videos and as usual, very instructive. I'm looking into buying a 3d printer to make my next tower garden but i am afraid of leakage as i've experienced in my 2 first tower gardens that i will probably get rid of.
Or i might just stick to what has worked the best for me is my five tier Racking sistem.
My current experiment for the moment is adding copper antennas to my Hydroponics racks, I am not sure if it is increasing my yield or the speed of growth yet or that i'm just better at controlling the differents aspects, but i seem to think that it is working, the future will tell, for now my plants and herbs are more beautiful than they ever have been.
So, thanks again for the inspiration and knowledge, Have a great day and a great life, Regards Frank from Montreal Canada
Let us know how the copper works out.
love the idea of copper....electroculture is it?
Yes it is, i've tried before on my indoor plants(in earth) and the results were very good.@@Kitties4321
I'm looking to build my first hydroponic tower and I've got a few questions lol. I don't know what kind of root space I'll need for different kinds of produce. Is there an easy way to determine how big the tower's diameter should be? Is there a way to build the drip system you described (the one with hundreds of little holes)? And instead of using net pots, I saw someone who used pool noodles. Would pool noodles inhibit the aeroponic water distribution?
this was a brilliant video. packed with great information. You mentioned providing plans or helps to building your own. I am having difficulty finding those plans. can you help
I'm having to re-write the guide as I didn't realize that the u-pvc pipe requires would be so difficult for many to get. A new revised "5 gallon" guide will be out soon and it will be worth it. So sorry for the dead link
So I started with small countetop gardens - ok for occasional herbs. Small resevoir towers are def novelty, I agree. But DIY was more tooling and messing around than I wanted. I got tower gardens with lights and cages bc tbey are automated and large enough to provide constant supply of food and zero guessing w nutrients. They have payment plans and I found it very affordable. Paid off in one year and zero messing around. I appreciate the video but DIY wasn't right for me.
I'm curious whether you can cut and come again on lettuces with the tower garden, or do the roots get too big to do that? Also, is there a mosquito issue? Do you use mosquito dunks in the water? TIA
"Sir, thank you for a very informative video. Could you please make a video about lighting for aeroponics from four sides and about the temperature in the room where the Tower Garden is installed? Greetings from Kazakhstan. 🇰🇿 For example, I don't have a greenhouse, but I have a free ground floor of the house or a basement where I want to grow salad greens in hybrid aeroponics."
Link dosn't work. It would be really great if you could fix it. I LOVE your vidéos!!!
The DIY pdf link is down and I don’t see it available on your website. Do you mind fixing the link or adding a new one in a reply?
Hi, love the video! My wife and I are long-time gardeners, and are thinking about converting a spare bedroom into a growing space for winter vegetables. Which of your guides provides instructions to build a tower garden? Thanks!
That sounds AMAZING!! I wish you all the best. Unfortunately I had to take the guide down as I realized how difficult I was for some people to acquire U-pvc pipe. So, I'm currently making a new guide with food grade plastic buckets that I will get out to everyone A.S.A.P sorry about the dead link.
@@humblegrowth No worries! I look forward to the guide. Thanks for what you do!
Loved your video and recently purchased the Home JPlus tower....still learning. How easy is it to clean? I am thinking I would have to pull out some of the plants to clean each section, one bit at a time? I have watched a few of their videos, and they make it seem so easy. Cleaning the pump is also important. I will be looking at your DIY booklet for some ideas. Thanks!
Great choice! The Jp tower gardens are top knotch. To do a full cleaning you would have to remove each layer. But I mention a few things in this video too ua-cam.com/video/eJ7a7XqKU70/v-deo.html
There's a much more comprehensive guide with that one. I use H202 regularly to keep things clean in there... hope it helps. Oh, and the e-mail is because I'm going to be making a massive Hydroponic Masterclass early next year for people who get hooked but want to learn EVERYTHING. 🌈
definiteyi interested in a class!!
@@humblegrowth
Cleaning is TERRIBLE. I took it apart a few times in the year and a half I had it.
The living room would be a mess for a day and a half, my husband would yell at me.
It took forever to clean and then putting the lights up was so stressful. I couldn't do it myself...More yelling from my husband as we tried to navigate...Terrible design of the placement of the light housing
You the man! I was interested in doing affiliate marketing with TOWER GARDENS, but the price of one is so COST PROHIBITIVE...Glad you give alternatives, even though TG is superior than other Chinese Cheap Copy Cats.
How about “The Hydro Tower” 👀? Good looking and reasonably priced.
I just bought a Nutriponics Tower and would love to get in contact with you to talk about it since you seem to know your stuff! Any chance of this?
Thank you for sharing love from aloha from big island 🏝️😂no soil
You are so welcome! My family is moving to Hilo next year! We have lived in Maui (haiku, Kula and Kihei) but now it is nearly impossible to afford. Hilo, and just north of Hilo town is really calling us. Can’t wait to grow hydroponics on a tropical island with you!! Aloha 🤙🏽🌺
You said you would put a PDF in the description on how to build my own tower garden, but I can't find it. Do you have a video of you building one? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I'm really sorry about the PFD guide. I had to remove it as I discovered that a lot of people don't have access to the U-pvc that I used. Therefore, I am making a new guide and video on creating 3 different tower gardens that will be food grade BPA free plastic and worth the wait. Apologies for the dead link.
What about 3d printed ones?
I don't see a pdf for the build
In my blind were tomatoes not a good idea for these? That’s the primary reason I want one. Thank you for this!
I can't find a uPVC supplier in the US. If you have one, please share. Google has not been helpful
Food grade BPA free plastic, developed at Epcot over 20 years, tested for nutritional value at U of Mississippi, THAT is why the TG by JP+ is $55-95/mo x 12 months. Mine havent aged at all in 12 years of growing all year round. I think the price is amazing , its about VALUE, not initial cost
Do you have more information on this please?
Fantastic information, I am interested in getting your DIY Tower PDF, where can I access that?
Bro said asap 3 weeks ago 💀
My wife is 8 months pregnant with our 3rd kid and we moved back to Maui 2 weeks ago. My A.S.A.P might not be the same as yours... But I promise to get to it, as soon as possible my friend. I am currently making 3 different towers to test out the design, I want it to be really good. Here is a link to Juice Plus Tower garden if you cannot wait. Thank you for your patients www.towergarden.com/us/en/shop/growing-systems
fellow okie?! I love OSU education on gardening
Thanks for the great video. Was looking for the plans pdf and couldn’t find it in the description. Can you point me in the right direction for the plans? Thank you 🙏
Absolutely!
Head over to www.humblegrowthhydroponics.com and you should see the free guides on the home page ☺️🙏🏼🌱
@@humblegrowth what is the title?
Great video. Something to consider tho.. “BPA free” plastics use things like BPS and BPF to replace the BPA, which are equally as toxic and cancer causing as BPA. In other words, “BPA free” is really just creative marketing. We have to figure out a way to get rid of plastic altogether.
That said, until there’s an alternative to plastic, I will likely still be purchasing a tower garden when I can afford it because I want to be able to grow my own food more efficiently. Just wanted to give the info.
Thanks for a very informative video.
Question: Where did you get that suspended fire place?
That's a Cubic Mini Grizzly cubicminiwoodstoves.com/products/cb-1210-br-cubic-mini-wood-stove
I removed the legs as they were actually completely useless and just made it heavier when it was mounted. Plus I think it looks cooler as a free mounted wood stove.
Im not really a person to build my own. But im interested in trying out a tower garden. I wish you could recommend some that are really good and are food grade and so on. Some i could buy and just start growing veggies. There are soooo many different ones that i dont know what to pick 😞
I will get started on that for ya!
Link to the DIY tower please. The one you have does not open. Thanks
Getting on it A.S.A.P!
@@humblegrowth update on the link?
Link doesn’t work?? 😞
I was wondering this for a while. I see some of the other companies are directly copying the Tower Garden and the Nutraponics garden for 1/10 the price. Like it looks just about identical but Im still pretty skeptical especially about the issue with plastics, Im guessing that you get what you pay for. Would love to see someone compare a grow between these systems though.
Hi Sir what if I made the tower out of ceramics ? what do you think about this idea ?
Wow! that would be incredible! The building material matters much less than the functionality so I'd say, go for it! My only thought would be to glaze the inside of the ceramic tower to ensure the in doesn't absorb a lot of the water. Please send pictures if you do this! humblegrowthcontact@gmail.com
ceramic pots with the holes in the sides for work perfect if they will stack and it would look very appealing to the eye. I don't know what kind of reservoir you would have maybe you could have a remote Reservoir in the center that feeds 2 to 4 ceramic Towers
Anybody know a vendor that sells UPVC to non commercial clients?
I am trying to locate a local vendor myself. I can not seem to find one. Wondering where he is buying his 4" & 6" pipe he mentioned??
YUP! They are definitely overpriced and easy to build! Mike VanDuzee and healing hobbies have awesome video showing you how to build Kratky method and one with a pump. I've built several of them for way under $25.00 and they produced lots of edibles.
Just look up chris lohs build video and diy your own towers for less expense and more growing space.
I do love his design. However the issue I ran into when I made one and grew cucumber and peppers in the same one, was actually the lack of inner root space. How was your luck building and growing in his garden?
@humblegrowth you can duplicate the design with bigger pipe diameter to help mitigate that. You'll have to scale up the fitting and connector measurements. Root trimming also helped me as well. More roots doesn't necessarily mean more growth when it comes to hydroponics.hope this helps
@humblegrowth also, Chris lohs build is just a worded explanation and tutorial of the build created by someone in Thailand. And they have more designs of the same caliber, but there's no vocal audio explaining the build. Just video.
I am looking for your product Place lace me a message. When I post this, I am looking for more information no this. Want looking how find are how build one .
I have one probably dumb question... I have grown things in hydroponics indoors before. But I'm wondering (here comes the dumb part) do you have to keep filling the water bucket? Or does it simply flow down from the top and stay filled? (that was your dumbest question of the day I bet)
No dumb questions here! I think that is a great question. A well assembled tower garden should be able to re circulate the water inside until it is absorbed by the roots. Hope that helps :)
someone very wise once told me that "only the smartest people ask questions" ;)
@@humblegrowth but it will eventually need water added right?
@@judykaspar7402 Yes, depending on the weather and how big your plants are it will need to be refilled often or once a month.
Guess documents arent free anymore :/
Free means there is no monetary cost to you. I charge absolutely nothing. What does free mean to you?
@@humblegrowth Thanks for your reply. The links appear broken and when I go to the website it asks for member login info. Is there another way to download?
You can do some really quick math to find out that these fancy 700$ towers aren’t going to repay themselves in terms of produce yield anytime sooner than 7+ years. Considering also that most of the time they are just a structure with hydraulics. For a successful growing you need nutrients, adeguate lighting (80% of the running cost), a controlled climate, seeds, growing medium and so much more. With such a high cost, these things are just not scalable and remain fancy flowerpots.
False.
I grow soooo much food in my Tower Garden in my condo!! I love it!
tower gardens cost 900 each with light during begining of plandemic now with food collapsing it will only go up
Hey can you keep the tower garden videos coming especially in winter because I have the Flex I love it but seeing someone else’s success is so helpful
Absolutely!
I am looking into the flex tower garden. How do you like it? easy? everything grows as you want? thank you
What about 3d printed ones?
