Hydroponic systems: A look into the future of horticulture

Are our Future Garden Towers a hydroponic tower or an aeroponic tower?

In commercial agriculture, there are a variety of hydroponic techniques used to grow crops without traditional soil. The most popular include:

Wick systems, deep water culture (DWC), nutrient film technology (NFT), ebb and flow, drip systems and aeroponics.

While all of these methods have different approaches, today we'll focus on the fascinating world of aeroponics.

Aeroponics is a type of hydroponics that is often referred to as “hydroponics on steroids.”

Unlike other hydroponic systems, in aeroponics the roots of the plants are suspended in the air and are regularly sprayed with a fine nutrient solution. This allows for optimal oxygenation of the roots, resulting in increased nutrient density and improved plant health.

A leading representative of aeroponics are our tower models, which can be considered both as a hydroponic tower and as an aeroponic cultivation system.

Some refer to our towers as hydroponic towers, others as aeroponic towers - both descriptions are correct as aeroponics is a branch of hydroponics.

The discussion of whether a tower garden is a hydroponic tower or an aeroponic tower often leads to debates about the intricacies of hydroponic farming. But in reality, it doesn't matter how the roots are fed - whether by high-pressure mist, drip, or some other method - as long as they're suspended in the air and receiving the optimal supply of oxygen, it's aeroponics.

Future Garden is a pioneer in aeroponic tower technology and has supplied and installed many systems with its partners.

The results speak for themselves: Plants grown on Future Garden aeroponic systems have superior nutrient density, an increase in antioxidant and phenol levels, and an average crop yield 30-50% higher than traditional hydro methods, and a further 40% water savings compared to traditional hydro methods.

Aeroponics is far superior to other hydro systems.

Hydroponic systems play a crucial role in the future of horticulture.

Whether as a complement to traditional growing methods or as a standalone solution for urban farming projects, the possibilities are limitless. And with innovators like Tower Garden continuing to push the boundaries of aeroponics, we can be sure that the future of horticulture is bright and green.
