Vertical farming through aeroponics gives us the opportunity to grow larger amounts of produce in the smallest of spaces, inside and out.
GROW FOOD INSIDE & OUT 365 DAYS A YEAR
Fresh nutritious food is available all year round with EcoTower. It can simultaneously grow up to 36 plants per unit, without having to worry about the weather. This means that you can grow a complete vegetable garden inside an urban apartment in as little space as one square metre, and by using our optional UV lighting kit and solar power system, growing is possible in cold, low sunlight conditions and in off grid settings.
OPTIMUM NUTRITION & FASTER GROWTH
Plants need 16 macro and micro nutrients for optimal growth. EcoMix Nutrients include all 16 and are produced from natural earth minerals. According to NASA, with aeroponics, depending on the crop, you can grow AT LEAST 30% FASTER with SIGNIFICANTLY higher yields without sacrificing the nutritional value. GROW bigger, better and faster crops with EcoTower.
WATER SAVING
EcoTower uses 95% less water THAN CONVENTIONAL GARDENING METHODS BY UTILISING closed loop technology. The water is continually circulated within the EcoTower and the only water used is what the roots of your plants consume. The roots of the plant hang in the air (inside the tower) and are fed through a highly oxygenated, continuous flow of water and nutrient solution. Water is such a precious resource, EcoTower is clearly the next level in water conservation for agriculture.
EASY MAINTENANCE. CONVENIENT
No soil means no mess, no digging, no weeding and no bending over. EcoTower is easy to keep clean. Older people and people with disabilities love their easily manageable EcoTower gardens that can be supplied (literally) on wheels for growing with no boundaries. No previous gardening experience is necessary, now is your opportunity to begin growing your own food and becoming self sufficient.
FOOD SECURITY / HEALTHIER EATING
As more of us recognise the health benefits of a vegan and vegetarian plant based lifestyle, the importance of the freshness and cleanliness of our food is vital. Simply put, we don’t want to buy bags of salad from the supermarkets that are washed in chlorine and already up to ten days old when we open the packaging. By starting to grow our own food we can be assured of fresh clean food with the immense satisfaction of growing it ourselves. EcoTower provides us with food security, essential in the current times of a world affected by war and lockdowns, by removing our reliance on vulnerable supermarket supply chains. Start growing your own food today.
ECO FRIENDLY
Growing your own food with EcoTower requires no pesticides or fertilizers whatsoever. Minimal water is used and is recycled continually. Pure earth nutrients are used from 100% organic sources. Running costs are extremely energy efficient. Solar kits are available for off grid use. Growing your own food requires no supermarket packaging and will save you so much money over time by reducing the cost of your weekly food shop.
Using Vertical Aeroponic Farming Technology to Help All of Humanity
As our supply of farmland and fresh water grows scarce, the human population soars. If we don’t pursue more efficient, sustainable farming methods, we will soon face global food and water shortages. Fortunately there is a solution: vertical aeroponics — the soil-free growing technology that powers EcoTower.
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil. The word “aeroponic” is derived from the Greek meanings of aer (air) and ponos (labour). Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, or aquaponics, which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium.
What can you grow with EcoTower
Anything, in theory. In practice, aeroponics systems are primarily used for the same applications as hydroponics systems, including leafy greens, culinary herbs, marijuana, strawberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers. One exception is root crops, which are impractical in a hydroponic system, but well-suited to aeroponics, as the roots have plenty of room to grow and are easily accessible for harvesting.
