Garden Tower 2 Review 2020

Best Hydroponic Gardening Tower – Garden Tower Project 2 Review

Survival in extreme situations requires good preparation, reliable equipment, and sometimes just luck. But let’s be honest – we do not meet with a grizzly bear every day, sleeping in a shelter made of branches or navigate the terrain with the help of the sun or constellations.

In life, everything is a little more ordinary. 90% of our survival comes down to choosing fresh food from the refrigerator. But as it turned out, this can also be a problem. Pandemic (COVID-19) showed that a well-functioning system not as strong as it seemed. What if several large-scale disasters coincide in time? What will we eat when groceries are not brought to the supermarket?

Work on earth not only brings peace of mind but can also help to survive. For food safety, a small vertical bed can provide your family with not only fresh salad greens but also juicy berries and natural vegetables! Let’s look at the most delicious offers and choose (for ourselves) the best!

#1. Garden Tower 2: 50-Plant Composting Container Garden

The most important thing for strategic production is autonomy. For efficient operation of the Garden Tower system, no additional communications (such as power supply) are needed. This vertical bed is a balanced ecosystem in which it uses every square inch to grow healthy crops rather than weeds. The interior turns food waste into compost and evenly saturates the soil with fertilizers and air.

Moisture saturated with useful fertilizers is collected in a special container and must be reused for efficient plant nutrition. Garden Tower 2:50 uses only environmentally friendly materials! The complex is made of UV-stable food-grade plastic HDPE). FDA approved colorant and antioxidant packaging are used (non-toxic, BPA, and PVC plastic-free). Plants grown in the Garden Tower are truly natural and healthy! Try to imagine a situation where you, without getting up from your favorite chair, can plant a 6-square-foot garden bed! I would also say that this is fantastic, but Garden Tower 2 – makes it possible! Pour the prepared soil into the assembled frame and place your chair (or comfortable chair) near the tower.

When all the terraces near you are filled with sprouts, rotate the tower with a slight movement. Your knees and back will say “Thank you so much” dozens of more times when you need to harvest a generous crop. There is also a necessary supplement that is not included, for example, compost worms. Two dozen worms you will need to independently put in the compost compartment or the ground. And for the cultivation of “high” crops (tomatoes) – it is necessary to additionally install frame guides (a stick to which the bush will be tied). A generous crop can damage grassy branches, so support the bushes in the garden, and they will support you in the kitchen.

#2. Worm Factory 360 Worm Composting Bin

360 Worm Factory is a 4-channel autonomous bio-composting ecosystem. It collects food waste and turns it into a nutritious fertilizer for your garden and potted plants. Thanks to the standardized modular structure, the worm factory can expand to 8. Excessive height increase is not recommended due to the inconvenience and complexity of maintenance, but it is possible. To start composting with this system, you need to buy 1000 red wigglers. If you think it’s a hell of a lot, it’s not. More worms – more processing speed.

The system is designed so that the worms actively process 1-2 containers. After 2-3 months of coordinated work of your worm team, you will receive the first 2-3 halons of fertilizer. When the fertilizers are ready, the wiggers migrate to the upper container where there is much more food for them. Do not forget to add cut paper – worms love it very much and lay eggs in it. Newsprint is not so nutritious, and white paper is not so beautiful in the form of compost. How to make sure that your worm factory does not emit an unpleasant smell, how to care for worms in winter, and much more you can learn from training DVDs and materials.

#3. Worm Factory 360 WF360B Worm Composter, Black

Worm Factory 360 WF360B is an 18 square inch continuous production of fertilizer for your plants. The very first container can be filled up to 50% with ordinary dirt, and crushed food waste should be placed on top. To avoid the appearance of fruit flies, it is necessary to cover the waste with coconut husk or cardboard. It might be a good solution to cover it with wet newsprint, but it depends on the climate in which you grow worms. To make the production as efficient as possible, you must never leave the window of comfortable temperatures (50F-90F).

It is very important! After all, worms need only one hot day (+ 100F) or very cold to die forever. You can learn more about the diet and how to care for Worm Factory from the training DVD that you get in the kit. The seller prudently added pleasant little things to the kit, such as a hand tool and a thermometer for temperature control. All that remains for you is to send red wigglers to work around the clock. The factory has a very simple working principle. Weak legs do not allow to build tall and compact towers with a lot of compost. If you make additional support – this problem will be also solved.

#4. 5-Tier Strawberry and Herb Garden Planter

The rational use of small living space is a necessary measure. To get a big crop using 12 square inches – you can use a 5-level planter for strawberries and herbs from the best seller Amazon. To install this tower does not need additional tools or training. Simply connect the grooves of the upper and lower pots creating a small tower. For indoor use, a small plate-shaped stand is included. When installing this vertical bed on the street – be prepared for gusts of wind. That the tower did not fall it needs to be strengthened. One of the options is to install a rigid rod no higher than 80 “and put on all the tiers of the tower on it. The added earth will hide the presence of the rod, and after the plants grow the tower will turn into a green column. This can be used in garden design. The rest is an unpretentious design that solves a specific problem – the rational use of every inch of space.

#5. 5 Tier Stackable Strawberry, Herb, Flower, and Vegetable Planter

Vertical Garden Indoor / Outdoor is a classic grass tower for growing strawberries, greens for salads, or flowers. The tower consists of a stand for collecting water and 5 plastic stacks that are filled with about 24 quarts or 0.75 Cu Ft of prepared earth. The concept of a tower is an advantage that imposes some limitations. Water always goes down, so the upper tiers always dry faster. If the amount of water is too large, the bottom stand will quickly fill with water and may not hold all the water. Sunny days will please only half of the tower. Depending on the geographical location, the level of the shadow zone will change. Wind days can show the real stability of this tower. Consider these features and this vertical garden will be able to please you with delicious vegetables and berries.

#6. Amazing Creation Stackable Planter Vertical Garden for Growing

This vertical garden bed can fool you with its modest appearance. If you are thinking of placing this “tower” on the windowsill, you should know that these are rather large rounded triangular containers of 12.5 “x 12.5″. When folded, the tower has a height of 24”. This will inevitably block the light from the window, which will make the room darker, and the plants on the dark side will be weak.

Another drawback of the vertical concept is the useless central space. If the tower is folded, only 3 protruding terraces will remain for planting the plants, and the central place is closed by the upper floor. This bed has small problems with the drainage system. Too small openings can clog and create water stagnation. If you expand them – most likely the water from the upper tiers will sink the lower tiers.

A good way out of the situation is a separate horizontal installation of all containers. The problems of overflow, shadow, and empty central space will be solved and the unusual appearance of the “pot” diversifies the design of the backyard.

#7. LARGE Vertical Gardening Stackable Planters by Mr. Stacky

This is a cascading vertical bed for growing berries, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. A very spacious bright orange tower resembles a coral reef and will be a worthy decoration of your garden. At the center of each seeder is a hole suitable for a 1-inch PVC pipe. This will help strengthen the “tower” from a strong crosswind and close the passage for spilling the dirt. This tower has slight problems with the drainage system.

Most likely, it will not work to water the bed only from above. The lower part may be thirsty while the upper part is drowning. It depends on the density and grain size of the dirt in which the plants grow. In addition, the design of the tower is designed so that the lower part of the terrace has a through-hole through which dirt can also pour. If you do not have time to clean a large amount of dirt – make a protective insert to fix this. When the root system of the plants of your vertical garden expands, this improvement can be removed.

#8. Stackable Planter Vertical Garden for Vegetables

This is a good set for the beginning gardener and the experienced farmer. All tiers of the tower are made in a universal style and look like a three-leaf clover. The manufacturer recommends using a tower of 3 (or less) pots to make a hanging flower bed. This is caused by the heavyweight of the filled pot and the desire for safety for the gardener.

Each tier needs 15 cups of dry earth, with the addition of water it becomes really heavy. If the proposed options do not fit the design of the garden, each tier can be installed separately, like a horizontal bed. The use of this garden kit depends only on the gardener’s imagination and desire. In addition to the advantages, there are also small features that it is important to know for your plants to flourish.

The kit also includes 5 filters for use as a drainage fuse. Be careful with setting this feature. If the filter is too dense, the water will not be able to run away and the plants may drown. It is recommended to use an average transmission level and water each terrace of each tier separately. If you have questions related to the properties of this product, selection of plants, or a complete set – the seller will be happy to share his experience and will help you make the necessary calculations.

#9. GreenStalk Patented Large 5 Tier Vertical Garden Planter

This is a really big seeder with great features. Each of the 5 tiers has 6 conical pockets of sufficient depth to grow vegetables and even root crops! The main advantage of GreenStalk is a unique patented drip irrigation system. The gardener needs to pour water into the upper tank and the system will distribute moisture evenly across all tiers. There are no unreliable electric pumps – all the work is done by gravity.

To reduce the price of a garden seeder, the manufacturer made an offer with an additional stand on wheels separate. To order a company stand, you need to go to the manufacturer’s website and make a purchase there (this product is not on Amazon). The system performs well in terms of space efficiency while it looks like a tower. If the tower is strengthened with the help of additional guides, the number of floors can be increased to 10! The main thing is that it would be convenient for you to serve them.

When folding the seeders separately, all the advantages of the irrigation system are completely lost. Only one irrigation tank is included, which means that each individual block needs to be watered according to the type and condition of the plant. A good seeder with limited urban space. It will be convenient to place on the balcony and receive fresh juicy products without a store.

#10. 6-Ft Raised Garden Bed – Vertical Garden Freestanding Elevated Planter

Before that, we examined the “pillars” seeders, because they are really very popular. But for the sake of objectivity, it must be said that there is another type of seeder – the concept of a bookcase. “Outland of life” offers to buy one of these beds. The main difference is that long beds are arranged vertically, like a layer cake.

The advantage of this concept is the uniform distribution of sunlight across all beds of all floors. When comparing numerical values, a 6 square feet vertical garden bed has the same usable area as a 10 square footbed. The drainage system in all blocks is the same, a small hole near the bottom at the edge of the bed. This small passage protects the beds from stagnation by letting water flow to the lower floors.

To dry the deck, you can plug the lower floor with a plug (included) or substitute a pallet. The whole structure does not look too bulky, but stable enough to do its job. This bed is produced at its factory in China. This gives complete control over production and the highest possible quality control. The customer service deserves special praise, as it really cares about the happiness of each customer.

Conclusion

Charles Robert Darwin said: “The fittest survive.” We do not agree with his words. The one that knows how to adapt survives. Lifting over 200 pounds does not save from hypothermia in the rain or a snakebite. The one who can adapt to new conditions survives. And if it turned out to be done faster than others – this is a victory!

Judging by hydroponic garden towers by this logic, the winner should be universal for any conditions. It should be as autonomous as possible and provide itself with excess. And importantly – the system should be convenient for the gardener with any physical form.

As we think the best today is rightfully considered – No. 1 Garden Tower 2: 50-Plant Composting Container Garden.

This garden tower provides itself with fertilizers. After the plant life cycle, fertilizer-rich soil can be used for other beds. The Garden Tower can be installed outdoors or indoors and can be easily rotated by the gardener’s side.
Congratulations to the winner and wish not to rest on our laurels, and every day to become better, more effective, and more popular! Thank you for being with us! See you later!
