Consider seeding up plenty of chives then transplanting to under and around your fruit trees for naturalizing. A lot of pests dont like chives, the flowers provide polinator food often when many others aremt flowering, and they tend to love pretty well untended
No. The weather is changing and storms are getting stronger. Climate Change is happening. That said, we are in the dry season in Southern Appalachia. This is fire season. We’ve also done much, much, longer without rain. We’ve had droughts that lasted years. Thankfully much of WNC got a very light and steady rain yesterday. It was needed. It’s needed to help clear up reservoirs of drinking water, too..
You TRULY are. You came across my suggestions when I was in Cheerokee, N.C., after Sept. 27th. That following Monday we were allowed to have a 4 night stay at Cherokee, Harrahs. I was grateful, yet HORRIFIED by seeing what I did on T.V. so then I felt guilty I was even in Cheerokee. I did have the BEST MOST APPRECIATIVE SHOWER EVERRRR. a cool room, electricity, and WIFI, which is when I came across your channel. I watched your video on when you were getting ready for the storm to come. Your cabin is so calm, warm,and inviting. ❤ and subscribed right away. You give me a feeling of calm. I wish I could do a tower, I am in a condo, only E. sunshine. IDK, if that is capable, because of not much sunlight. I shared this video with my daughter Tha is in Richmond, TX. She has a big back yard, even though she is in a subdivision. LOVE your channel. Much Love and hugs ~ The Carolina Way from Candler, N.C.
Stephanie, my husband works for a company called 5.11 and was in Marshall week before last working with your police chief to help get them restocked in some gear. When he would call home at night he was coughing so bad he could barely speak. We don’t use over the counter meds so I had sent some Wild Violet tincture with him for allergies. It helped him tremendously. It clears your lungs and sinuses so bad stuff doesn’t settle in your chest. I recommend it!!
I just found your channel when you were working with the Helene victims. Great channel. I'm going to work on some of these starting this week. God Bless you and your family. Here in Southeastern Pennsylvania we haven't seen rain since early August!
I was working two blocks from ground zero with all the dust a month after 9-11. You try to take precautions, but life must happen despite toxic dust. I took lots of wheat grass shots during that time.
Living a Prepared lifestyle so wise. You need the skills not just information. Yes, watched his blog about his SHTF experience and those of others surviving in a besieged town, very insightful.
OMG 😃 I’ve been telling my husband all about you and your stories and amazing towers! We have been so busy preparing for our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson who are moving here from Nebraska! We are beyond excited, but boy do I wish I had these towers. We have a huge backyard which sounds like more of what you had in Florida. We are in the very very far northern part of California and I love to garden and make my own compost, and have a couple of raise garden beds, nothing to write home about; but fun! The majority of my time time is spent grooming the yard. I am retired now so it’s a little bit easier, but it does take up most of my time. Ridiculous! It’s just been fun to go “look a cucumber… Lol!” We are still able to pick pole beans and those are delicious. Like you said, it definitely would not sustain a person not even one person. I totally taste the difference in what I do grow because I don’t put pesticides on everything. It grosses me out to go to a restaurant and order a salad and it tastes like bleach or something! I just admire you so much and will continue to watch your videos and just want to research and research so I do it right but I want to start sooner than later! Thank you so much for your videos and inspiration!😊
I'm so glad you found me! We sound like kindred souls! That is so great your family is moving home. I think that is the best thing we can all do right now! I'm begging my inlaws to move here.
I'm in Arkansas we just got our first rain in 60 days. This is very unusual for us ans has broken records. Back to Helene damage. I find it shocking the the news media is not reporting hardly anything anymore and when they did it was minimal. I have been watching social media and RUclips for information. That is how I found you from art and bri. Praying for your community and your families health.
I love, love when you are with your towers and you’re harvesting vegetables! And I really like the way the peas grow on the towers, so pretty. You are a wealth of information thank you so much! I know my family in Burnsville say they had some rain back when they had the snow showers but it’s funny, you could leave my aunts house and it’s sunny and go a mile down the road and it pouring rain! And, she would never see a drop lol. The weather has been very weird, it’s been very warm here in Mich also at this time.
Thank you for this video. I'm keeping North Carolina in my prayers. Will be praying for rain it isn't normal I agree. Will be praying you're children feel better soon. So sorry you are having to go through all this. ❤❤
You are so correct about how much soil gardens can cost, the cost of soil and wood is outrages and you would have to put out a couple of acres to replace the grocery store. My small garden and food forest doesn't provide much.
Well I live in PA and it is the same way very dry and temperatures are warm and it is cool at night some days are windy and cool it is a mixed bag. So we are the same deal. I do remember when we had Floods like you had We had flodding like that in 2011 from Hurricane Ivan. I had terrible SINUS issues from all the dust and dirt from the flooding. I wish your children speedy recovery....
You remind me of when I had a 300 head dairy----(you work so hard)!!!! Just be sure that you MULCH VERY HEAVILY WITH PINE STRAW THAT IS DAMPENED, TO GIVE THE TREES A WARM BLANKET FROM THE FROST & FREEZING WEATHER ON YOUR MOUNTAINS---(PUT IT ON THICK, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T USE TOO MUCH, AND THE ROOTS OF THE TREES WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT & PRODUCE A LOT MORE BLOOMS & FRUIT IN THE SPRING--TO FALL 2025 GROWING SEASON FOR YOU♥️
I have been looking for someone like you to learn from. I’m from Asheville living outside of Charleston, SC. I really having been feeling the desire to do this for over a year now. Definitely time to get started. New fan! Thank you!❤
Looking forward to your solar battery pack. Agree with the not waiting on gardening as its a skill of experience over many situations. Your water efficiency strikes home after needing to water for nearly 12 weeks this growing system. Well done.
Yes Im concerned about all the toxicity there. May Jesus bless you and keep you and shine his light upon you and your family always. Sending prayers for all. 🕊️💜✝️
I really appreciate you sharing your growing system. I've been listening to your videos for a few weeks and I think I'm going to try the tower system myself. One thing I noticed you say in one of your videos (though I can't find where now) is that you should get a tester to see if there are too many particles in your water (I'm guessing you're talking about hard water). I know that I have hard water since I'm on a well and a water softener system is not in my budget right now. Can I still do the tower system with hard water?
I read that book also! Yes, it makes you really think of things we might have to face and ways we might respond. I feel a wee bit more educated. But a question just keeps nagging at me about the location of his story and the location hurricane Helene hit!!! Hummmm... Coincidence?
Eat plenty of collard greens. - The liver cleanses the body of a number of impurities including chemical. Collard greens help the liver do it's thing and some say is healing for the liver (I've never scratched the surface of healing claims however.)
Up here N .W Pa. Only light rainy very dusty up here. Very dry, fills like choke us. UP Here kids our sick, cough and it's cold I had it we both went threw flue, throw up and stomach hurts. Pray for rainy. There fires 30 miles away.
@@theaeroponictowerchannel Some areas did get months worth of rain in a short period so dry out was needed. It was also needed for homes/businesses. This is also the dry season in Southern Appalachia. Fall is fire season. The dust from dried out silt and mud does have toxic particles in it in some areas. Air quality control statements have noted this for weeks, and recommended that people try to avoid being out for extended periods when the wind is high. That’s incredibly hard to do right now. PPE, pf course, has been recommended. Many of the dust particles are larger and harder for people to inhale. Others are smaller. It’s not going to be toxic in every single area, though. It depends on location. Some were covered in mud from headwaters from the tops of mountains with no residences or businesses above them. Peoples allergies are in overdrive right now, understandably so. It’s resulting in sinus infections, and the sinus infections are closely related to bronchitis. It’s easy for one to turn into bronchitis, and it’s easy for bronchitis to turn into walking pneumonia or pneumonia. MMH has been putting out messages about this. It’s bronchitis/walking pneumonia season anyway but this is making matters worse.
@@theaeroponictowerchannel I am so glad there was a light steady rain yesterday. That was desperately needed to knock down the dust and help clear reservoirs of drinking water. Several reservoirs flipped. The silt and sediment ended up on the top and the water is on the bottom. Local, state and federal agencies have been testing the water daily (and they have been doing soil testing for weeks too) and are using different methods to help the sediment settle faster. The water temps have cooled down due to winter approaching and this slows down the process of settling. The water situation has been especially grim in Buncombe but it’s getting there, slowly but surely. Even 30% of peoples wells that were covered in flood water are testing positive for bacteria like E.coli. The EPA is sure several other private wells that were flooded are in the same shape but some people apparently think the Environmental Protection Agency is nefarious and out to harm them. They won’t let them test their wells. So, local health departments are handing out well decon kits to combat this.
Thanks for all of your videos, just recently found your channel. I am in more central NC (around the Charlotte area) and we haven't had rain in few weeks either. I have a friend with some land and we did a share cropping thing for years. We are looking into getting some towers very soon because it just makes too much sense. I do have a small hydroponic system that I grow herbs in so I'm not totally new to it. Take care up there in the mountains. We are praying for all y'all.
I absolutely LOVE your lifestyle & home 🥰🙏🏻❤️ and want more than anything to follow your path 🥰🙏🏻 unfortunately I do live in a very small apartment within a building of 4 total apartments so I feel panic that I have no way of getting myself set up to that level 🥺 I am in a 4 season area with Winter being the longest and chances of “ Snow Days “ & Power Outages so I do have a little set aside for that. Kind of a Bummer ☹️
Baby steps! Don't let overwhelm stop you from doing something. I am working at a large scale but you can do a lot in a small space. Just start and it will grow naturally. My start is how I am where I am today. My first plant I grew.....lead to this.
It would be difficult to depend on hunting anyway because the animals would quickly be depleted. And unless one has the skills to dehydrate and otherwise preserve the meats, that is not a reliable food source. With any sort of garden there is a pretty big learning curve. People should have really started a garden years ago because there are different challenges every year. I’ve been gardening for decades but only veg gardening for 7. It takes years for fruit trees and shrubs to produce a good harvest. This year our biggest challenge was fighting. mosquitoes after serious rainfalls. It was so bad we let food just rot and our strawberries were fantastic. 🥲 Tomatoes, potatoes, raspberries and peppers are very plentiful for us but I still need to master greens.
I was recently without power for 10 days in the Texas heat. My solution was to place a 5 gallon bucket atop the tower with a single 1/8 hole. I filled it 3 times a day morning,noon, night. Everything came through OK.
Living in a downstairs apartment complex, I could easily do a couple towers. The problem is some of the neighbors would not think twice about letting their dog hike it's leg on my food. Or just being passive -agressive because I'm not in their little niche of progressive thought. I would try growing inside but as you said, things just grow much more healthy outside with real daylight and air circulation.
Our zone 5 weather is not normal. Not sure if anywhere in our country is. I say we, like Elijah call down rain from the heavens. Did not Jesus say those who believe these signs will follow, and did he not say those who believe will do greater things than I. Let's read the whole Bible and bring his kingdom on the earth until His return. 🕊 🔥 ✝️ 🦁 👑
I found out about Tower Garden through a PBS gardening show. It took a while to track down how to buy one, and when I did, the company assigned me to a Rep. If I buy my supplies, (and we are considering an extension) through you...will you get credit for the sale, or will the credit and commission get flipped over to the previously assigned Rep? (Keeping in mind, said Rep never responded to any emails and my husband and I found, and figured this out on our own...😊) We would rather do business with you.
They don't do the rep thing anymore. They are now just an affiliate. If you use my link I do get credit and appreciate it greatly! stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel/p/food-freedom-awaits
I heard about seeds, Green houses, prices went up, I went to Amish Green house and they grow food and sale it. N.W.Pa . Where I'm from ! When I live in Pensacola FL. Blue berries like clay dirt and fire place Ashes around early spring time Feb and March. And Around Oct and Nov . Put on top soil when rainys mealt Ashes. And Pecan trees, like clay dirt like Ashes from fire. Same months for blues Berries. Get cold down there ice and snow few days sunshine warms up again. Keep that in mind.
Oh my, my inwpuld think that wood chips are/ will be plentiful on your area. Contamination issues may become a different story. Do consider your trees and also letting wood chips and time add to general soil health in spaces and places in the "yard".
How does the tower garden compare to soil grown foods when it comes to taste and nutrition? You have me really interested in those towers and will be adding several when I relocate. Thank you for helping to shed light on all of this darkness in the world.
We feed them everything they need where soil can have deficiencies that we may never even know about. I don't believe hydroponics is the 100% best option. I personally believe a natural food forest has a better microbiome system.....but, permaculture doesn't replace the grocery store, not even close, so there are some trade offs. Hope that makes sense! I think the best way to have a balanced approach is to sprout, ferment, tower garden, soil garden on a small scale for things that won't grow in a tower, worm farm, and create you own compost from scrapes. That sounds like a lot but in small practices it's not overwhelming.
I wonder if God is giving you time to dry out like all the states that were hit so hard with all that rain. Just a thought! I kind of noticed the same thing here in Indiana we always have a rainy fall and we haven’t had much rain here here here. It is November now and we’re just starting to get a little rain and that’s very weird and we’ve had warmer temperatures than normal I’ve been really happy about all that because the coldness really takes a toll on my body With my joints and all that I have. 😻❤️
I forgot to ask; what kind of fruit trees are you putting in? It will be fun to follow your trees’ progress! We have nearly 50 trees on our almost 1 acre property. Wait for it…….NONE of them produce fruit. 🧐You just gave me a great idea!!! 💡 We recently took down a Redwood (we have several). I knew the root system would be a challenge, so I saved about 5 feet of stump and we have converted it into a hobbit house. I’m adding a garden all around it, but will include herbs too. We have sun along the fence now so may plant a blackberry vine there. After all these years, I’m thinking differently! I’m 62 but prefer the outdoors, so I’m lucky! I have this echo in my head now: The towers! The towers!😜. I will make it happen 😎🌶️🥬🥦🫛🫑🥗
Living in an upstairs apartment, praying someday I can have land, or at least a yard or driveway. Or have space to store what you preserve. Having your own home and property is definitely a huge benefit. I do have a question, what would you do if hurricane or flood took out your tower gardens and home with all of your food storage? Thank you for your videos ❤
We used to live on the water in florida and personally we would never live near water again due to the risks. Pollution and destruction. Any one of us can be brought to nothing, or even death, at any moment. I don't find that a reason not to prepare. I teach on preparedness in hopes that maybe if you loose everything your neighbor who didn't has supplies and can help others because he was prepared. That is what is happening here. Many lost everything. Those of us who are secure and prepared can now help.
How do you find starts for mushrooms do you start in Fall. Or spring, What does Oster mushrooms taste like? It was 75 ds Oct 31s. Now 55 s and 48 s and 65 s at night 33 s. Warm up Mon and Tues 70s say Oct was very cold and going back wards at end of Oct, C a. Very hot, say 2 week s I just move one yr. ago.
I've had a back injury and didn't know about growing any other way than with dirt. I built 2 small raised beds and put a cattle panel between them as a trellis. It was very difficult and costly and I never would have done it had I known about these towers. It may sound foreign to you but this is a serious question- How do you use all of the greens you grow? I know you can throw them in a smoothie or stir fry, but I really don't know what is what with even that kind of thing. I'm not a smoothie or juicing kind of person, what do you do with that much cilantro or the other greens you grow? Thanks for sharing
@ the supplies I have are for the tiny shed homes- extension cords, rugs, hook racks, suitcases for storage, blankets, etc. Will the guy you mentioned, get the things to those people?
You may answer this elsewhere but how do you vettemuch your nutrient as healthy? Just curious plus how did you decide on this particular nutrient? Amazed at your Helene coverage. Thank you for all your content.
what zone were you in while in Florida. I am in Zone 9B and have done tower gardens in the past. I have been thinking about trying a tower garden again.... previously,, the water would get too hot and Pithium on the stalks...so I gave up..
I was in Jacksonville. I forget what zone. You can try insulating the bottom and stick the whole bottom in one of those whiskey barrels. It fits perfect. Also, setting up a shade cloth. So an old camping tent remove the top and put on 50 or 40% shade cloth.
I have a free ebook here and you can see the light kit at the other link. Tower garden made the perfect light solution. stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel us.towergarden.com/collections/frontpage
Steff, what is the bag you usually have on when you are around the towers or mushroom logs? I invested in a hori hori knife a couple of years ago and love it!
Yes! You can see them in this video. Next year I have the math done to grow all my tomatoes for salsa and tomato sauce to can for the year. ruclips.net/video/1roKQzfZYio/видео.html
I should have known. When I saw the Tower Gardening Journal, I knew it was something created by you.I would like a copy. Going on 85, I am not on Facebook.and am not willing to do such a large down load, take it to a printer etc. That is a disaster waiting to happen. I am trying to catch up with your videos on You Tube because your videos are interesting and not the corporate line. Here in Texas,we grow inside as the property is overrun with fire ants. Growing has been going on here since 2013, so I am not a beginner and I am still learning. Can you help me out with the journal? Waiting patiently for a resolution or a suggestion as to how I can acquire the journal. Looking forward to hearing from you, Most sincerely, zlouise G. Beddow

IF your blessed with a WELL, add a HAND PUMP to your well, when the electric goes out you can pump out your water with the hand pump.
That is our next investment. They are very expensive. We have a 300ft deep well so it's going to be several thousands to get it done.

Many of the dust particles are larger and harder for people to inhale. Others are smaller.
It’s not going to be toxic in every single area, though. It depends on location. Some were covered in mud from headwaters from the tops of mountains with no residences or businesses above them.
Peoples allergies are in overdrive right now, understandably so.
It’s resulting in sinus infections, and the sinus infections are closely related to bronchitis. It’s easy for one to turn into bronchitis, and it’s easy for bronchitis to turn into walking pneumonia or pneumonia.
MMH has been putting out messages about this. It’s bronchitis/walking pneumonia season anyway but this is making matters worse.
@@theaeroponictowerchannel I am so glad there was a light steady rain yesterday.
That was desperately needed to knock down the dust and help clear reservoirs of drinking water.
Several reservoirs flipped. The silt and sediment ended up on the top and the water is on the bottom.
Local, state and federal agencies have been testing the water daily (and they have been doing soil testing for weeks too) and are using different methods to help the sediment settle faster.
The water temps have cooled down due to winter approaching and this slows down the process of settling.
The water situation has been especially grim in Buncombe but it’s getting there, slowly but surely.
Even 30% of peoples wells that were covered in flood water are testing positive for bacteria like E.coli. The EPA is sure several other private wells that were flooded are in the same shape but some people apparently think the Environmental Protection Agency is nefarious and out to harm them. They won’t let them test their wells.
So, local health departments are handing out well decon kits to combat this.
Thanks for all of your videos, just recently found your channel. I am in more central NC (around the Charlotte area) and we haven't had rain in few weeks either. I have a friend with some land and we did a share cropping thing for years. We are looking into getting some towers very soon because it just makes too much sense. I do have a small hydroponic system that I grow herbs in so I'm not totally new to it. Take care up there in the mountains. We are praying for all y'all.
Thank you for the prayers and I'm glad you found me!
This question is regarding the sheds/tiny homes. Will they have a kitchen, bathroom, and sitting area? Thank you for all your are doing.
I absolutely LOVE your lifestyle & home 🥰🙏🏻❤️ and want more than anything to follow your path 🥰🙏🏻 unfortunately I do live in a very small apartment within a building of 4 total apartments so I feel panic that I have no way of getting myself set up to that level 🥺 I am in a 4 season area with Winter being the longest and chances of “ Snow Days “ & Power Outages so I do have a little set aside for that. Kind of a Bummer ☹️
Baby steps! Don't let overwhelm stop you from doing something. I am working at a large scale but you can do a lot in a small space. Just start and it will grow naturally. My start is how I am where I am today. My first plant I grew.....lead to this.
It would be difficult to depend on hunting anyway because the animals would quickly be depleted. And unless one has the skills to dehydrate and otherwise preserve the meats, that is not a reliable food source. With any sort of garden there is a pretty big learning curve. People should have really started a garden years ago because there are different challenges every year. I’ve been gardening for decades but only veg gardening for 7. It takes years for fruit trees and shrubs to produce a good harvest. This year our biggest challenge was fighting. mosquitoes after serious rainfalls. It was so bad we let food just rot and our strawberries were fantastic. 🥲 Tomatoes, potatoes, raspberries and peppers are very plentiful for us but I still need to master greens.
I was recently without power for 10 days in the Texas heat. My solution was to place a 5 gallon bucket atop the tower with a single 1/8 hole. I filled it 3 times a day morning,noon, night. Everything came through OK.
Living in a downstairs apartment complex, I could easily do a couple towers. The problem is some of the neighbors would not think twice about letting their dog hike it's leg on my food. Or just being passive -agressive because I'm not in their little niche of progressive thought. I would try growing inside but as you said, things just grow much more healthy outside with real daylight and air circulation.
Our zone 5 weather is not normal. Not sure if anywhere in our country is. I say we, like Elijah call down rain from the heavens. Did not Jesus say those who believe these signs will follow, and did he not say those who believe will do greater things than I. Let's read the whole Bible and bring his kingdom on the earth until His return. 🕊 🔥 ✝️ 🦁 👑
Amen! Lets call day the rain!!
Living in a area hit by disaster, that remaining chaos affects you mentally as it remains on the roads and daily pathways.
Holy cow I just checked out the Tower Gardens. I was thinking like $300. They’re a lot more :(
That dust needs to be tested as well as the people to get a NECESSARY BASELINE for future issues 😥
Thank you .......
I found out about Tower Garden through a PBS gardening show. It took a while to track down how to buy one, and when I did, the company assigned me to a Rep.
If I buy my supplies, (and we are considering an extension) through you...will you get credit for the sale, or will the credit and commission get flipped over to the previously assigned Rep?
(Keeping in mind, said Rep never responded to any emails and my husband and I found, and figured this out on our own...😊)
We would rather do business with you.
They don't do the rep thing anymore. They are now just an affiliate. If you use my link I do get credit and appreciate it greatly! stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel/p/food-freedom-awaits
I heard about seeds, Green houses, prices went up, I went to Amish Green house and they grow food and sale it. N.W.Pa . Where I'm from ! When I live in Pensacola FL. Blue berries like clay dirt and fire place Ashes around early spring time Feb and March. And Around Oct and Nov . Put on top soil when rainys mealt Ashes. And Pecan trees, like clay dirt like Ashes from fire. Same months for blues Berries. Get cold down there ice and snow few days sunshine warms up again. Keep that in mind.
Oh my, my inwpuld think that wood chips are/ will be plentiful on your area. Contamination issues may become a different story. Do consider your trees and also letting wood chips and time add to general soil health in spaces and places in the "yard".
How does the tower garden compare to soil grown foods when it comes to taste and nutrition? You have me really interested in those towers and will be adding several when I relocate. Thank you for helping to shed light on all of this darkness in the world.
We feed them everything they need where soil can have deficiencies that we may never even know about. I don't believe hydroponics is the 100% best option. I personally believe a natural food forest has a better microbiome system.....but, permaculture doesn't replace the grocery store, not even close, so there are some trade offs. Hope that makes sense! I think the best way to have a balanced approach is to sprout, ferment, tower garden, soil garden on a small scale for things that won't grow in a tower, worm farm, and create you own compost from scrapes. That sounds like a lot but in small practices it's not overwhelming.
I was wondering the same question, thank you for covering. Just like anything moderation😃👍🏼 Have different baskets, figuratively-:)
I wonder if God is giving you time to dry out like all the states that were hit so hard with all that rain. Just a thought!
I kind of noticed the same thing here in Indiana we always have a rainy fall and we haven’t had much rain here here here. It is November now and we’re just starting to get a little rain and that’s very weird and we’ve had warmer temperatures than normal I’ve been really happy about all that because the coldness really takes a toll on my body With my joints and all that I have. 😻❤️
I personally have spent a lot of time researching weather manipulation. The history of it. The patents for it. I believe it’s from that.
Mangoes and avocados are so wonderful however, I have found that mangoes draw rats in mice. That’s the only downfall on the mangoes.
Also could you show what you make with the food you are growing? You are inspiring me to lose weight and get it together! I need to prep now!
Yes,any folks have no clue what to do with greens of any type.
Ooh my I did not here about this back dirt, I get it at Walmart for flower potting soil has vitamins.
I forgot to ask; what kind of fruit trees are you putting in? It will be fun to follow your trees’ progress!
We have nearly 50 trees on our almost 1 acre property. Wait for it…….NONE of them produce fruit. 🧐You just gave me a great idea!!! 💡
We recently took down a Redwood (we have several). I knew the root system would be a challenge, so I saved about 5 feet of stump and we have converted it into a hobbit house. I’m adding a garden all around it, but will include herbs too. We have sun along the fence now so may plant a blackberry vine there. After all these years, I’m thinking differently! I’m 62 but prefer the outdoors, so I’m lucky!
I have this echo in my head now:
The towers! The towers!😜. I will make it happen 😎🌶️🥬🥦🫛🫑🥗
Living in an upstairs apartment, praying someday I can have land, or at least a yard or driveway. Or have space to store what you preserve. Having your own home and property is definitely a huge benefit. I do have a question, what would you do if hurricane or flood took out your tower gardens and home with all of your food storage?
Thank you for your videos ❤
We used to live on the water in florida and personally we would never live near water again due to the risks. Pollution and destruction. Any one of us can be brought to nothing, or even death, at any moment. I don't find that a reason not to prepare. I teach on preparedness in hopes that maybe if you loose everything your neighbor who didn't has supplies and can help others because he was prepared. That is what is happening here. Many lost everything. Those of us who are secure and prepared can now help.
Love your water bottle and holder
How do you find starts for mushrooms do you start in Fall. Or spring, What does Oster mushrooms taste like? It was 75 ds Oct 31s. Now 55 s and 48 s and 65 s at night 33 s. Warm up Mon and Tues 70s say Oct was very cold and going back wards at end of Oct, C a. Very hot, say 2 week s I just move one yr. ago.
Make a video on how to store seeds
In Mylar for longer storage
Could you go over your exercise routine a little more?
I've had a back injury and didn't know about growing any other way than with dirt. I built 2 small raised beds and put a cattle panel between them as a trellis. It was very difficult and costly and I never would have done it had I known about these towers. It may sound foreign to you but this is a serious question- How do you use all of the greens you grow? I know you can throw them in a smoothie or stir fry, but I really don't know what is what with even that kind of thing. I'm not a smoothie or juicing kind of person, what do you do with that much cilantro or the other greens you grow? Thanks for sharing
Hurricane beryl took out one of our car windows
Can I grow greens indoors during winter in Wisconsin?
If a friend and I show up at your church Sunday morning, can we leave some supplies with you?
I can’t take supplies but Wayne down the street can! 5150 Highway 25/70
@ thank you so much!! 😎
@ the supplies I have are for the tiny shed homes- extension cords, rugs, hook racks, suitcases for storage, blankets, etc. Will the guy you mentioned, get the things to those people?
You may answer this elsewhere but how do you vettemuch your nutrient as healthy? Just curious plus how did you decide on this particular nutrient? Amazed at your Helene coverage. Thank you for all your content.
Downloaded your free E book and see your source on the nutrients and the breakdown on solution A and B. Thank you for these resources.
I’m getting things to sprout indoors…I don’t trust what is falling from the skies
it's concerning for sure.
I’ve tried to view your free Harvested at Home recipe book, but the Heyzine link isn’t working for me…
Shoot me an email and I can email a pdf. You should have gotten one in your inbox. steffmor8@gmail.com
what zone were you in while in Florida. I am in Zone 9B and have done tower gardens in the past. I have been thinking about trying a tower garden again.... previously,, the water would get too hot and Pithium on the stalks...so I gave up..
I was in Jacksonville. I forget what zone. You can try insulating the bottom and stick the whole bottom in one of those whiskey barrels. It fits perfect. Also, setting up a shade cloth. So an old camping tent remove the top and put on 50 or 40% shade cloth.
Steph, what kind of lighting do you use for the towers when in the garage or in the home? They are oddly shaped and so tall.
I have a free ebook here and you can see the light kit at the other link. Tower garden made the perfect light solution. stan.store/Theaeroponictowerchannel

Steff, what is the bag you usually have on when you are around the towers or mushroom logs? I invested in a hori hori knife a couple of years ago and love it!

What do you do with them in the winter when the snow is flying and it’s too cold to grow anything till spring? 😻❤️
I grow inside. They have a light kit.
do you grow tomatoes never have seen them on here just curious
Yes! You can see them in this video. Next year I have the math done to grow all my tomatoes for salsa and tomato sauce to can for the year. ruclips.net/video/1roKQzfZYio/видео.html

That’s me. I have 4 so far, 2 apples, a peach and a cherry. I’m going to be getting more.
I have no clue what to do with sage.
I should have known. When I saw the Tower Gardening Journal, I knew it was something created by you.I would like a copy. Going on 85, I am not on Facebook.and am not willing to do such a large down load, take it to a printer etc. That is a disaster waiting to happen. I am trying to catch up with your videos on You Tube because your videos are interesting and not the corporate line. Here in Texas,we grow inside as the property is overrun with fire ants. Growing has been going on here since 2013, so I am not a beginner and I am still learning. Can you help me out with the journal? Waiting patiently for a resolution or a suggestion as to how I can acquire the journal.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Most sincerely,
zlouise G. Beddow
I had the same need. The free journal won t come free

Was the guy from Argentina? He wrote about economic collapse and wrote a list of the things he wish he had.
Possibly! I couldn't find it. All I remember was trash bags and alcohol which I bought a massive supply of.
@@theaeroponictowerchannel I found it, kinda, sorta. The author was Ferfal and he wrote about one of Argentina's collapses. He had this list of things folks used as currency when their's no longer had value.

Rabbits and their manure is high quality
Are your trees you just bought full size growing trees or are they dwarf?
These are full size.
I just heard a horrible story…that MasTec is not paying the linemen out there!!? And does FEMA or governor pay MasTec for this recovery? I heard the linemen are threatening to quit.!! Yikes!!

Hide your license plate 😮
Slice the registration tag to pieces.
Just fyi you showed your license plate...
Yes @4:48
God bless you all.
Maybe the "hurricane" stripped all moisture from the atmosphere. Not normal.
Who is going to dig all the holes?
Me.
@@theaeroponictowerchannel 😭well I guess the Gym time got you in shape for it.
The Dust looks like pollen. Your kids may have reactions to mold.
It's dust from the flooding. We were buried in 2.5" of mud.
@ oh I thought you didn’t get flooded but I forgot there was flooding in your town…duh … I’m planning to order a tower and a mushroom tent. I’m thinking it through right now. Also ordering catalogs.
@ wow !!
LINEMEN PULLING OUT because of NO PAY--not good
awe your 1st mistake WIND WHIPPING YOUR FRUIT TREES uh oh I hope they make it, you may see early die off. Perhaps the Plant Nursery knew the "DUST" is going to kill the plants. WHAT WAS SPRAYED IN THE HURRICANE??
yes, but God is bigger than all of that! I know how to love things back to life and that is what i always knew I would have to do with these plants.
OFF TOPIC-ISH: Between 30 and 32 minutes in, there is mention of Marshall (as in "We're coming into Marshall"). These guys are driving stuff for FEMA right now and, the remaining 15 minutes or so of the video are at some big FEMA distribution center.
