In this video Daniel Vincent Kelley details how to build an aeroponics garden. Aeroponic Grow Systems are said to grow food 10x faster than growing food in soil. Below is a link to an Amazon Store where I’ve compiled a list of all the necessary parts to build an aeroponics garden. Since completing the video I made an addition to my setup in the form of a third row of spray jets down the middle of the bin. I also lowered my spray jets in the bin a bit to widen out the spray of the jets, I did this by cutting each of the legs down a bit. I decided how much to lower it by running the system to fill the tubing, to maximize the pressure from the jets, then took an approximate measure of how high the jets were spraying above the ceiling of the bin. It got my floor a bit wet to remove the top while the spray jets were on, but a quick mop job took care of that. I also came to the conclusion that I needed to run the power cord for the pump through a hole in the top of the bin, to keep the lid on tight, thus keep the bin from leaking. Additionally I added a layer of silicon caulking to the rim of the bin top. Here’s the parts list on page 1 of my Amazon stores Aeroponics Garden section, the rest of the pages in that section are seeds you might consider growing in your aeroponics garden. astore.amazon.com The link below is the system from where I derived most of my parts list. I simplified their setup by going with a submersible pump thus eliminated any need to put holes in my bin …

Raw footage of Fred “Farmer Fred” Burkey of University of Florida – Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences talking about Sustainable Garden Supply’s Vertical Aeroponic System – Airgrown Towers. Fred explains why he bought the towers and what he has noticed so far. This system was designed for both residential and commercial applications. Residential towers hold 30 plants while Commercial towers hold 60 plants. This vertical design optimizes the use of space. For example, each residential tower can produce as much as up to 45 square feet of dirt. In one commercial setting, where one grower was cultivating 2000-2500 plants in his greenhouse, we were able to put over 9000 plants in the same space. This is a closed-loop system which means it’s very efficient since it keeps on recycling the water/nutrient solution until the plants’root absorb it. We have achieve up to 99% water efficiency. Furthermore, there is no agricultural run-off to pollute the earth as you would have in traditional agriculture. Since we use no dirt or expensive growing medium, we do not use harsh herbicide. That’s right, no more wasting your time weeding with this system! Another advantage of aeroponic is the growth rate. We have experienced as much as 45% faster growth rate than in dirt. For example, we have produced a full head of lettuce in 21 days, 50 days for broccoli, a mere 6 weeks for cucumbers! This system allows you to grow most vegetables like lettuce, eggplant, cucumber, squash, pumpkin …

This video shows the very basic concept of hydroponic deep water culture. PLease email me for plans and custom built systems.
