Incredible! I think that having a mix or\f vertical farming plus regular soil-based crops would be ideal. Hope to see it available in my country someday as well.
For us who live in developing countries, solar panels are expensive, electricity is not always available so would not be a viable option.Lots of investment required.
But it's still a good idea. If there are developing countries that already provide subsidised items to farmers, they could add these things too along with skill training
great if you're in city where water is at a premium, but for 600 quid a pop i think i'll stick with terracotta over plastic. people should check out kratky method first rather than laying down a few grand on these. sustainable is a bit of a stretch imo.
Something to think about with the sheer convenience that technology adds is that we are becoming more and more sedentary so while its awesome to be able to grow like this, we need to find new ways to stay active and motivated to move around.
Using technology like this is helpful for different types of people, that don't have enough time because of their work schedule etc. I'm all for soil farming and that's what I'm doing but the more types of growing there are available, the more people are going to do it that would otherwise never have done so, which is the best case scenario. Soil growing's definitely for me, though. I love my lush biodiversity-filled workout at the green area.
I wanted to try hydroponic type towers for all my leafy greens to free up space in my garden and to try and get summer harvest of greens in our florida summer. But couldn't get pass growing out the seedlings in rockwool or coco coir. I do perfectly fine at growing from seed in soil, so I didn't understand the troubles with hydroponic growing.
"Once I planted my first seed and saw it germinate and grow then harvest I became obsessed"... Yup that's how farmers are made❤ lol🤠 This is amazing but as a flower farmer just getting started on my first year building my farm the only thing is where's the connection to the ground and nature because one of the things i enjoy most building a flower farm is getting into the ground and working with soil and compost and live stock all the smells and sounds of the farm is my obsession #farmlife
Wt ever new technology idea we grow greens vegetables cant even match with the soil grown that smell the 1st drop rain or water fall on soil along with plants make more special also direct contact with soil and ourself build more happiness
Though it looks interesting, I’m confused on the nutrient side. From my understanding, you have too many “consumables” with aeroponics (or aquaponics). Will this not add up overtime if you use it just to grow your own food? Or it just used water with no additional use of other products? Also, is it possible to grow something like onions, or potatoes or something similar? Or this is one of the “limitations” let’s say? I am genuinely interested to at least understand this.
Let me preface this comment by saying that I have not yet tried this type yet, but have invested a lot of type researching how things like aeroponics and hydroponics systems work. I don't think that crops that would normally grow underneath the soil (such as potatoes, onions, garlic) would be suitable for aeroponics in general. Hydroponics might allow onions and garlic, but I don't see any other way than the regular to plant potatoes since the actual harvestable parts are underneath soil. As for the consumables, I'm guessing this is something that's just part of this type of agriculture. It's easy and great for growing lots of crops in smaller areas, but you'll need some extra things which otherwise would be covered by the nutrition found in typical soils. So unless you have a way to make your own plant nutrients you would most likely need to restock on some of these things. Cheers!
@@TheCorgiLoaf Most root vegetables can be grown with genuine aeroponics. The reason its not possible with the Tower Garden is its hydroponic, not aeroponic. The tower garden provides a maximum of 1.9L of root space per plant. This is the reason why you can only have one tomato plant per tier, not 4 :)
And each tower costs between $200 and $700 each. That’s a lot of expensive plastic. And it’s still plastic. An ultimately poisonous substance. So, it’s been tested for ten years. Then what?
There are problems with most new ideas, hopefully its one of those plastics that don't leach into the environment & that it lasts, if this is the case which it is, it's honestly one of of the best solutions..What are you doing to try & help the World?
@@klarasmetana3136 I would recommend people build the towers themselves from completely non-toxic materials that will last a lifetime. According to the video, the towers pictured have only been tested to be non-toxic for ten years.
This is clever but I cant imagine its as good as growing in soil - the nutrients which are naturally present and the fact that its more sustainable and regenerative to grow in soil
God created all the plants, the seeds, the soil, the sun, the water. Praise God. You haven't improved 😕 on God. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Be thankful to God for all of this. Most humans are.
You can grwo almost any crop with aeroponics, including root vegetables. The Tower Garden is hydroponic, not aeroponic.

Our family want to open a vertical farm in Surrey 🙏🏽
❤❤❤❤
thank you for providing insanely good tower! Can you share any more information about the lab studies?
awesome stuff bro!!!
im form thailand how to buyyyy?

Definitely going to research this in depth and it’s potential to partner well alongside organic/regenerative farming.
Soil growing is still soul growing. I just make my own. No pesticides no plastic no chemicals😊

would be fun to experiment with. Would love to see a polyculture tower full of diffrent herbs, lettuce and other leafy greens.
Truly appreciated. I hope to do something similar in the near future
I actually thought about doing this before, but looks like you made it into a reality

Love this. People in the concrete jungle can easily grow food. And with the way people are treating our soil nowadays we need a plan B❤
I need this in my life

Cool. Seen this before. I have a book called the future of vertical farming. Game changer. I take it that’s rock wool he gets the seeds started in?
How will it affect ecosystems?
What about the nutritions?

check out bernard kratky maybe, he does lots of research into different crops. had a lot of success with hydro ginger.

I would love to see this system exported to food needy communities and the third world!
Nice idea but $875CND for one big plastic tube...
wow! looks great! you are awesome, guys!

I genuinely thing this will be big in the future like really big
These towers have been around for 17 years :)
God gave us soil, what an amazing blessing 💕🙏. You cannot improve on God.
Looks fab and i'd love to try it, but £645 for a home set-up with 32 slots is way too expensive for me. :-(
This is awsome to see, I have 5 towers at home 😅
This is Awesome 🥰👑💜👑💯💪🏾
wowowow... much love and blessings
Interesting concept
Woww really very good and nice 👌👌👌plants 🌿🪴🌿🪴thinks for sharing my friend 👌👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

How much did you invest in this artificial farming and how much do you earn through this in a month ??
Love this ...❤!
how much does each pillar cost? poor people will be unlikely able to pay such things
I wish one made out of metal, best one would be copper.
awesome!!

Some of these kits go for up to 800$
That’s not accessible whatsoever, especially for people dealing with today’s economy.
Very rad, what greens do best aeroponically?

Where my earthies at 🌍
How Sustainable! A water based growing system needing electricity to work...
Hi bro
so what kinda plastic is it
💛
How is aeroponics low tech? Low tech is some soil, water, and sunlight.
Tower Gardens are hydroponic, not aeroponic, despite what the advertising says.
i luv meat
No thanks 😊
Borrrrring. I don't know why? you give me this vibe.
lol. v farms fail badly. venture capital funded jokes
