Okra is a flowering edible plant which belongs to the Malvaceae or mallow family, along with cotton and hibiscus. It is commonly known as lady’s fingers in some English-speaking countries due to its long and slender pods that are often compared to a lady’s fingers. Through our innovative vertical farming method, it is possible to grow okra on aeroponic towers in less than one square meter of space without the use of soil. Using Grow Support Cages for Okra We grow okra using grow support cages which are sold separately. Grow support cages, made from galvanized steel, sustain the weight of cro ..read more

For the past ten years, a lot of people have been interested in urban gardening and vertical farming to solve numerous environmental and economic problems, especially now that there is a growing number in the global population. In fact, the world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Food production is a problem in highly populated cities where traditional soil-based farming method is not possible. We have nothing against conventional farming, but it significantly contributes to environmental harm and greenhouse gas emissions. These issues are addressed by urban and vertical far ..read more

Although our aeroponic towers take less than 1m² meter in space, we recommend allocating 1.5m² to 2m² per tower (depending on crops), including aisle space, packing area, propagation tables for seedlings, cleaning station, etc. A Tower Farm saves on average 75% of space compared to conventional agriculture in the soil, and at least 50% in comparison to NFT hydroponic horizontal systems. Space savings translate into lesser overhead costs. It is obviously more expensive to build and run a 1,000m² greenhouse than a 5,000m² facility. Aside from a lesser overhead, saving space means a reduced ener ..read more

Strawberries Strawberry belongs to the rose family, along with apples, plums, cherries, etc. It is a non-climacteric fruit, it stops ripening after being picked. Most fruits develop when the ovaries of the flowers swell, however, strawberries come from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. This is why they are called accessory aggregate fruit, rather than true fruit. Growing Strawberries on Aeroponic Towers Over 160 annual crops can be grown on aeroponic towers using our vertical farming method. These include leafy greens, aromatic herbs, vegetables, edible and ornamental flowers, and a l ..read more

Water spinach, commonly known as Pak Boong or Phak Bung in Thailand, Kangkung in Malaysia and Indonesia, Kangkong in the Philippines, is a leafy green native to Southeast Asia. It belongs to the convolvulaceae or morning glory family. When growing water spinach on aeroponic towers, the first step is to soak the agricultural rockwool in water for about 20 minutes until it is fully wet. Rockwool is a soilless substrate made from basalt, the most common volcanic rock on Earth. It is often used in aeroponics and hydroponics as it allows for soilless germination. The rockwool comes with ..read more

Zucchini, also known as courgette, is a summer squash which belongs to the gourd family or Cucurbitaceae along with cucumbers, melons, and spaghetti squash. Aztecs and Mayans, who are natives in Mesoamerica, were the first to grow zucchini. It is one of the oldest cultivated crops in America, it is believed to have been domesticated from wild gourds in Central America about 5000 years ago. Through our innovative vertical farming method using Tower Garden technology, we grow zucchini on aeroponic towers in less than one square meter of space without the use of soil, just water mixed with a 100 ..read more

At Agrotonomy, in our Tower Farms, we grow up to 52 komatsuna plants on a single aeroponic tower in less than one square meter of space while saving up to 95% water as compared to the conventional farming method. Komatsuna, also known as Japanese mustard spinach, is a member of the Brassicaceae family, along with broccoli, bok choy, cauliflower, kale, tatsoi, etc. It is not related to spinacia oleracea or spinach, contrary to what it is called. In Japanese, komatsuna means ‘greens of Komatsu’, a village in Edogawa, Tokyo named Komatsugawa, where komatsuna was exclusively grown during the ..read more

Orange cauliflower is one of the varieties we grow on aeroponic towers without the use of soil, only water mixed with a 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution. In 1970, orange cauliflower was first discovered in Canada when it first appeared in a field near Toronto. It was then shipped to Cornell University, where scientists have done selective breeding to create orange cauliflower. Just like purple cauliflower, the orange variety is also not a result of genetic modification. The hue of the orange cauliflower is due to its high levels of beta-carotene, an antioxidant which is also found ..read more

At Agrotonomy, we grow 32 plants indoors on a single Tower Garden HOME using LED grow lights in just less than one square meter of space. There are over 160 annual crops, including leafy greens, aromatic herbs, vegetables, as well as fruits like strawberries and melons, and even edible flowers to choose from and grow on aeroponic towers. The tower is equipped with a low wattage submersible pump that is positioned at the bottom of the reservoir to draw the 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution up to the top of the tower. The pump operates at 23 watts, working intermittently 5 minutes ..read more
