Grow Tower Construction Video:
Benefits of Grow Towers:
- The tower keeps the plants off the ground (protects from disease and some bugs).
- Grow more produce per sqfoot.
- Less water usage, Install 1 drip line into the top bucket and the water drips through all the buckets below.
- No weeds.
- Quick setup and tear down.
- Fruit hangs from the buckets and does not lay on the ground. Prevents early stage fruit rot.
