All About Aeroponics
Plants need four things to grow: water, air, sunlight, and nutrients.
The SOS Eco Farm Tower Gardens are soil-free, aeroponic growing systems. Aeroponic farming is a type of agriculture where plants grow in an air or mist environment. Instead of soil, our plants are grown in rockwool -- a lightweight material made from molten and basaltic rock. The rockwool is surrounded by air inside the Tower Garden. Rather than receiving nutrients from soil, the plants in the rockwool absorb the nutrient-rich water that rains down inside the tower!
