Tower Garden — Frequently Asked Questions
What can I grow in my Tower Garden™?
Almost any crop can be grown in the Tower Garden. There are a few exceptions: Root vegetables, such as beets; bush or tree fruits, such as blackberries; and corn.
The space age technology that powers the Tower Garden produces highly nutritious crops in at least half the time it would normally take if grown in the soil! Lettuce and gourmet leafy greens grow super fast and can be harvested in just 3 weeks after transplanting. The Tower Garden™ can save you hundreds of dollars a year in healthy food that is also clean, safe, pesticide free, and highly nutritious.

How big is a Tower Garden™ and where do I place it for optimal growing?
- The basic Tower Garden unit (pictured at right) is 5 pots tall and can grow 20 plants in a 2.5' x 2.5' footprint. The Tower Garden™ can be easily rotated for optimal lighting around the entire unit.
- Up to two Add-On Kits can be used per Tower Garden. Each Add-On Kit consists of two pots (8 planting spaces). We do not recommend using more than one Add-On Kit outdoors due to greater susceptibility to wind gusts. Taller towers are better suited for an indoor environment.
- If more than one Add-On Kit is used, you will also need to purchase the High Capacity Submersible Pump (available in the “Replacement Parts” section of our online store).
- Most food crops generally require full sun or high light for optimal growing conditions. During the heat of the summer, the Tower Garden™ should be placed in a location that will get shade starting mid-afternoon. If you have shade locations in your yard, it is best to have the Tower Garden™ shaded later in the day when temperatures are hot.
- It is also helpful to follow the advice for specific crops on the back of the seed packets. Quality seeds purchased form a local garden center are ideal for producing great crops in the Tower Garden™.
- Be sure a good clean water source is nearby. NEVER use softened water, heavily chlorinated water, or very hard water, as it may damage your plants. Note: Chlorine in water can be eliminated by filling a 5 gallon bucket with water and leaving it out in full sun for 48 hours.
- An electrical outlet nearby is preferred over a long extension cord. ALWAYS use a waterproof connection when using outdoor extension cords. These can generally be purchased from local hardware stores.

What is the overall operation of the Tower Garden™?
Seeds for the Tower Garden™ are started in a natural rock fiber seeding cube. Seeded cubes are placed in a covered bio-dome for 24–48 hours allowing the seeds to germinate quickly and evenly with very little seed loss if any. The bio-dome is then opened and germinated seeds are placed outside in full sun for a week or two where they can develop into hardy seedlings ready for transplant into the Tower Garden™.
The Tower Garden™ has a 25 gallon reservoir or storage tank at its base. This reservoir stores the Tower Tonic Ionic Mineral Nutrient Solution. Inside the reservoir is a small, low wattage submersible pump. The pump draws the nutrient solution up through the center of each pot all the way to the top of the Tower Garden™.
From there, the nutrient solution drips through a special device that evenly cascades the nutrient solution over the plant roots. On the journey down the tower, the nutrient solution feeds the plants’ roots and becomes highly oxygenated as gravity tumbles it back down to the reservoir.
This process is continually repeated providing fresh oxygen, water, and nutrients to the roots on the plants. Because of the above mentioned process, the food crops in the Tower Garden™ will grow several times faster than in soil and will have to be harvested on a regular basis! The Tower Garden™ is so simple! No weeding, tilling, kneeling, or getting dirty! The Tower Garden™ is truly the world’s first plug and play super garden! |
Why is The Tower Garden's produce healthier than I can obtain from my grocery stores?
Traditional produce is grown and harvested for shipping long distances and for a long shelf life. In many cases, consumers end up buying bland-tasting produce that is days or weeks old, lacking in nutrition, and laden with pesticides. Many people lose their desire to eat healthy, fresh vegetables simply because they do not taste good or fresh.
Today’s grocery store food travels great distances and is stored in a chilled environment for a period of time. It requires layers of packaging to end up in the consumer’s hands. It is sprayed with fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides.
Nature intended food to taste incredible, not bland. The Tower Garden™ can produce fresh, great tasting, and pesticide free produce all year long outside your own back door. The ability to harvest all your own fruits and vegetables fresh and vine ripened from your own backyard year round, will have you enjoying food everyday the way nature intended! Many Tower Garden™ owners did not know how good food could taste until they tried produce grown from a Tower Garden™ for the very first time. After having a Tower Garden™ for a few months, they are naturally eating their required servings of fresh vegetables on a daily basis.
Testimonials:
“I was originally interested in The Tower Garden™ to combat the rising cost of gas and food I could no longer afford. I was also interested because the US government in early 2008 told us that eating certain types of contaminated produce could make us ill or even kill us! To this day, they still do not know where the diseases came from and people are still getting sick. I felt let down by our government and decided to take matters into my own hands! I purchased several Tower Gardens™ so I could produce the majority of my daily produce from home. Losing weight and eating healthy food that is pesticide free is an extraordinary health benefit I get from my Tower Garden™. I am now buying sustainably grown organic meat as well. Thank you for this product and the work your company is doing!”
