Overview
Key Features:
Aeroponic Technology: A soilless system mists plant roots with a nutrient-rich solution, yielding 30% more produce and 3x faster growth than traditional gardening while using 98% less water and 90% less space.
Dimensions and Capacity:
Footprint: ~5 sq. ft. (30" x 30" base with a 20-gallon reservoir).
Height: ~55 inches with the Standard Extension Kit.
Plant Capacity: 28 plants (20 ports in the base unit + 8 additional ports with the extension kit).
What It Grows: Supports leafy greens (lettuce, kale), herbs (basil, parsley), vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini), fruits (strawberries), and edible flowers (nasturtium). Not suitable for woody-stemmed plants like root crops or trees.
Ease of Use:
Assembly: ~30 minutes, no tools required.
Maintenance: Minimal—check water levels, add nutrients, and clean the pump filter periodically. An automated pump and timer deliver water and nutrients every ~15 minutes.
No gardening experience needed.
Included Components:
Tower Garden FLEX Base Unit: Includes a 20-gallon reservoir, low-wattage pump (0.43 amps, 23 watts, 357 GPH; high-capacity pump for extensions: 0.43 amps, 48 watts, 714 GPH), timer, drain tube, and water level indicator.
Standard Extension Kit: Adds 8 planting ports (total 28) and increases tower height for larger plants.
Support Cage: A sturdy frame surrounding the tower to stabilize taller or vining plants (e.g., tomatoes, cucumbers) against wind or weight.
Seedling Starter Kit: Rockwool cubes, vermiculite, net pots, and seeds (gourmet lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, greens, vegetables).
Tower Garden Mineral Blend: Proprietary plant food (1 quart each of A & B, with measuring cup; lasts ~1 year). Note: Liquid shipping restrictions apply in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Alaska; contact customer care.
pH Test Kit: Includes pH adjusters (up/down) for water quality.
Indoor Growing: Optional LED Grow Lights (sold separately, 1 amp, 125 watts, 120 VAC/60 Hz) enable year-round indoor cultivation, especially for leafy greens and herbs in low-light conditions.
Sustainability: Made from USDA-approved, UV-stabilized, food-grade plastic. Recycles 100% of nutrients and water in a closed system, reducing environmental impact by eliminating food transport.
Support and Warranty:
Includes dedicated customer support and growing resources (guides, videos).
1-year limited warranty (extendable to 5 years for core plastic components in some regions).
90-day return policy with a $50 return fee.
How It Works:
Seeds are germinated in rockwool using the Seedling Starter Kit (2–3 weeks). Sprouted seedlings are placed in the tower’s growing ports. The pump circulates a mix of water and Mineral Blend from the reservoir to the top, where it “rains” down over the roots, delivering oxygen, water, and nutrients. The timer automates cycles, and plants are typically harvest-ready in weeks. The Support Cage ensures stability for heavier or taller crops.
Additional Notes:
Price: ~$755 (varies by region; check us.towergarden.com or ca.towergarden.com). Shipping included in most areas, but additional fees may apply for remote regions (e.g., Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon). PO Box shipping unavailable.
Considerations:
Requires electricity for the pump (and lights, if indoor) and non-chlorinated water (water treatment may be needed).
Ideal temperature: 65–85°F. Accessories like water heaters or shade cloths help in extreme climates.
Not organic due to soilless method and trace EDTA in the Mineral Blend.
Shipping: Orders ship within 3–10 days, depending on location and safeguards.
Benefits:
The Tower Garden FLEX with Support Cage Bundle is a space-efficient, low-maintenance solution for growing fresh, nutrient-dense produce. The Support Cage enhances versatility by accommodating larger plants, making it ideal for patios, balconies, or backyards. It promotes healthy eating, reduces grocery costs, and is an educational tool for families or schools.
