Thousands of Juice Plus+ distributors at the National Leadership Conference in Nashville last October 14 were thrilled to hear that an advanced food growing system called the Tower Garden will be available to sell to the American and Canadian public beginning April 16, 2011 , right after the Spring conference in Arizona.

Juice Plus+ President Jay Martin and product inventor Tim Blank of Future Growing, LLC explained with photos and detailed slides why adding a compact vertical aeroponic and hydroponic “garden in a box” to the Juice Plus+ product line was the right fit for both companies.

Juice Plus+, the world leader in whole food based nutrition products, recently partnered with Future Gardening, a leader in commercial aeroponic and hydroponic growing system design, to market and sell to home Tower Gardeners.

They both agreed that growing your own highly nutritious food at home in a high tech plant growing system was the best and easiest way to provide families with delicious fresh vegetables and fruits without the high price. Inventor Blank explained how easy it is to set up and start growing plants from seeds or seedlings without the headaches from ground pests, pesticides and worries of over or under watering. It is the first patented aeroponic (water and nutrients flowing or misting over plant roots) and hydroponic (plant roots exposed to water with no soil) home growing system made, and is now being used for much larger connected commercial greenhouse growing uses.

Twenty or more Tower Garden plants will grow 25 to 50% faster than conventional earth-grown plants because of the unique design of the white 4.5 foot tall tower that has a 3 foot round water reservoir base and a pump to circulate the nutrition-filled water. The price for a complete Tower Garden growing system is $499 plus tax and shipping, and can be purchased when available on a 12-month payment plan for $45 a month.

Hydroponic gardening has progressed steadily through the last 100 years from experimental to large scale commercial food production, and by spring of 2012 you will be able to grow your own highly nutritious, delicious fruits and vegetables at home or at work in this self-watering hydroponic/aeroponic growing system that comes as a complete kit in a box. It's easy to assemble in less than 45 minutes, and comes with printed and video directions online. All you need is about a 3' square area of level ground, nutrition-filled water and lots of direct sunlight. South facing is the best direction.

Dirt or a growing medium is not required since the recirculated flowing water with added nutrients (provided) is all the plants need. It's easy to maintain, requiring only about 15 minutes a week of maintainance.

Hydroponics (where planting medium but no soil is used) and Aeroponics (misting or running water mixed with nutrients directly over roots) uses only 5-10% of water and plant food, takes 25-50% less time, in 1/10 the space of ground gardens, and produces more nutritious and delicious fruits and veggies than most traditional earth gardening--without the ground-based pests, pesticides or chemicals.
