Looking for a Hydroponic Tower? Meet the Aeroponic Alternative

Hydroponic and aeroponic systems share the same goal: growing plants without soil using water and nutrients. Tower Garden takes a vertical aeroponic approach.

THE GOAL YOU'RE SEARCHING FOR

Vertical, Soil-Free Growing

If you're comparing hydroponic towers, you're probably looking for a compact system that replaces soil with a water-and-nutrient growing setup.

Use water + plant nutrients
Save floor or patio space
Grow food close to home

TOWER GARDEN'S APPROACH

Aeroponic Roots, Vertical Harvests

A pump sends nutrient solution to the top of Tower Garden. The solution then rains down over the roots inside the tower before returning to the reservoir to be reused.

Automated pump + timer
No soil required

The Pump Does the Work

Plants grow outward while the solution returns to the reservoir and is reused.

FAQ

Before You Choose a Growing Tower

Is Tower Garden hydroponic or aeroponic?

Tower Garden is an aeroponic growing system. Many shoppers searching for a “hydroponic tower” want the same basic outcome—a vertical, soil-free way to grow with water and nutrients—but Tower Garden uses an aeroponic delivery method.

What is the difference between Tower Garden FLEX and HOME?

FLEX holds up to 20 plants, uses a 20-gallon reservoir, occupies about 5 sq ft and can be expanded. HOME holds up to 32 plants, uses a 13-gallon reservoir, occupies about 3 sq ft and includes wheels.

How many plants can Tower Garden grow?

FLEX supports up to 20 plants. HOME supports up to 32 planting positions. The Family Tower Garden package reaches up to 84 planting ports across three FLEX towers.

How much space does Tower Garden need?

Tower Garden lists HOME at about 3 sq ft and FLEX at about 5 sq ft. Bushier crops such as tomatoes may need additional clearance around the tower.

Can Tower Garden be used indoors?

Yes. Both FLEX and HOME can be used indoors, but Tower Garden recommends LED grow lights when natural light is not sufficient, especially for year-round indoor growing.

What can I grow in Tower Garden?

Examples include leafy greens, peas, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and flowers. Tower Garden notes that woody-stemmed/root-style crops, grapevines, bushes and trees are not a good fit.

What comes with a Tower Garden system?

The core systems include the growing tower, reservoir, pump, timer, seed-starting supplies, net pots, Mineral Blend plant food and pH testing/adjustment supplies. HOME also includes a water monitor and wheels.

Do I need a support cage?

Not for every crop. A support cage is most useful for taller, climbing or heavier fruiting crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and beans.
