Tower Garden: Urban Gardening at it’s Best!

This page is dedicated to my Tower Garden journey!  I have had a Tower Garden for 4 years and love it!  It is easy to use as it is self watering, there is no dirt, no weeding and uses 90% less space than traditional gardens.  A Tower Garden is a vertical garden which enables you to have a farmer’s market on your porch or patio!  Or do as I do, and have it inside!

Harvesting

When done properly, harvesting can start after 5 weeks of growing!  Most lettuces and some herbs are ready to be harvested at 5 weeks.  Imagine how much money you could save?  You can grow just about anything on a Tower Garden.  As long as it is not a root vegetable you should have success growing!

Seedlings

You can either grow your own seedlings or purchase them.  My favorite site to purchase seedlings from is Living Towers.  They always have a great variety of seedlings to choose from and there is an awesome sense of satisfaction when they show up and you can just “pop” the seedlings into your tower! The seedlings are planted in rock wool cubes.  There are 20 “pockets” on a single tower to insert a variety of produce.

Inside or Out?

Every year, I start my Tower Garden inside so my seedlings have a good base.  I purchased the LED grow light package to keep my plants thriving while waiting for the weather to warm up enough to put on the patio.  I usually start harvesting my tomatoes towards the end of June and they keep producing through mid/end of September!  Which is amazing!  Once the growing season is done outside you can then make the decision to bring the Tower inside for the winter, or clean it out and take a break! Because I grow it in our basement, I choose to take a break each fall and start up again in the spring.  But it can be used to grow produce year around, as long as you have the grow lights.
