Because soil is a prerequisite for organic growing, and aeroponic systems don’t use soil, Tower Garden can’t be classified as organic. But it can be equally as safe and healthy—and more efficient. Organic gardening requires organisms in the soil to convert “organic” material into minerals plants can use. But instead of growing plants in soil, Tower Garden uses water, oxygen and pure, natural minerals to deliver nutrients directly to plant roots. The result is higher growth rates and greater yields than resource-intensive organic methods can achieve. So you could say Tower Garden is better than organic (beyond organic), because you get the same results (and more)—without the dirt.

Store greens in the refrigerator as soon as possible.
Our greens come in a produce bag or clamshell. You can:
Leave them in the original packaging, or
Transfer them to a covered container with a paper towel to absorb moisture
Both methods work well.
For living lettuce, keep the roots attached and store in the fridge — this helps it stay fresh longer. You can cut what you need and keep the rest growing.

Aeroponic farming is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment, without the use of soil.
This innovative approach provides plants with the ideal amount of nutrition and hydration. And it’s sustainable, too — using a fraction of the water and land required by traditional soil-based growing methods. Aeroponic crops grow faster and produce greater yields, on average, than soil-grown crops.

Yes — we recommend rinsing all greens before eating. Even though our greens are grown indoors, a quick rinse is best practice.
After rinsing, a salad spinner works great to remove excess water. For extra crispness, place your greens in the fridge for a bit after washing.
