Key Factors For When Running a Tower Farm:

Crop Rotation with Aeroponic Towers: 

Grow one type of crop per tower to synchronize harvesting. For example, arugula matures in 3 weeks, lettuce in 4 weeks, basil in 6 weeks, and cabbages in 3 months. Harvest and replant immediately to maximize output and avoid downtime.

Water Quality for Aeroponic Towers: 

Starting off with water quality. The quality of your water will determine the quality of your plants. Whether you source your water from a well, or from the municipal water, you can always filter your water using a reverse osmosis system to ensure the best quality water possible.

Stable Electricity for Aeroponic Towers:

Each tower relies on electricity to power the low-wattage submersible pump that irrigates plants. Therefore, it is crucial that you have stable electricity. Use solar panels for the ultimate reliability or backup generators.

Preparing Seedlings for Aeroponic Towers: 

Seed quantities vary by crop. For instance, use one seed for lettuce, 5-6 seeds for basil, 3 seeds for marigold flowers, and one seed for larger vegetables like broccoli. Buy seeds from reliable sources and store them in airtight containers in a cool, dark place.

Nutrient Quality When Farming With Aeroponic Towers:  

Nutrients impact plant health and flavor. Use a 100% ionic mineral nutrient solution providing essential macronutrients (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus) and micronutrients (copper, molybdenum, iron). This will produce crops that are nutrient-dense and bursting with flavor.

Quality of Aeroponic Growing System:  

Use high-quality plastic resins that are food-grade safe, UV stabilized, 100% opaque, and make sure it is a plastic that doesn’t leach chemicals into the water, that is why we advise avoiding buying cheap hydroponic systems made from PVC.

When operating a Tower farm, although the process is extremely simple, there are important quality protocols and components to address to ensure a successful farming business. Watch the video below showing all these crucial aspects of having a vertical farm using aeroponic towers:
