Vertical Aeroponic Technology
An advanced form of hydroponics, aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment rather than soil. Aeroponic systems use water, liquid nutrients and a soilless growing medium to quickly and efficiently grow more colorful, tastier, better smelling and incredibly nutritious produce. This innovative method results in faster growth, healthier plants, and bigger yields — all while using fewer resources.
