Gardening of any type is essential for all of us in any way we can as they continue to poison our food system every way possible. Plus you have the benefit of having a much more nutrient dense product from your garden to your table.
I have also had luck gardening hydroponically in my garage. All I used were 12 gallon totes with 2 inch holes drilled through the top, Net pots with coconut coir and some fertilizer in the water filled bin. I have supplied almost all of my greens through the winter here in Indiana. I continue to grow my spinach in it through the summer since it will bolt soon here out in the garden.
I also just got a vertical green stalk grower which is growing lots of different vegetables in a small footprint!
I just started with hydroponic gardening inside about 10 days ago. My first go at this type of growing. We've been gardening outside for 40 years and I've been intrigued by these indoor garden towers so started researching over a year ago for the right one for us. We have 8 raised beds and numerous barrels here in Central Texas but it gets SO hot here in summer and even some years we have triple digits by April. Drought is an issue here too and so are the pest. We do companion gardening too with herbs to deter pest. I also ordered Praying Mantis a few months ago. They hatched and I put them in the garden. Just saw one that's about an inch long now!! These are great little pest terminators! After checking out a few garden tower brands including the one you have I decided on the Lettuce Grow Farmstand Nook because of its compact size for our space in the dining kitchen area. After I master this one which really only took about a week I may consider a larger aeroponic Tower Garden for our outside covered porch. I need to see how we do inside with pest first because I cannot stand them especially gnats which I have an issue with here due to all my inside house plants. I'm doing various all natural things to tackle the issue including finding an all natural cleaning product to use on plants that deters the pest. I found out about it on another hydroponics group. She actually puts it in the water basin too! I've also found a Medicinal seed packet garden for outside and possibly to grow on a tower. Have to research this to see if we can grow them that way probably outside on a porch tower. The main thing is to just dive in and get going with any type of home gardening you can whether its outside in raised beds, containers, hydroponics, aeroponics, etc.! Especially in this day and age! Any food we can create on our own is a huge plus for our health and survival of the fittest! GlutenFreeLady
