To finish my windows and complete this house build i decided to dismantle the set up, heres pictures before dismantling the fallponic towers and flood and drain window box

but I love plants far too much to not think of something, so i converted to an aeroponic tote that i can move out of the way.

The cows got me. I’m tagging along.
(I’m also a veggie gardener, so maybe I can pick up a few tricks)
Grow on my dude!

If you’re in the market for a fun and productive way of growing plants and not afraid to build stuff, I remember a retired architect who designed all kinds of stuff - including vertical gardens- all of it open source. He quit probably 10 years ago due to censorship for advocating self sufficiency amongst other things.

If I can’t find the plans, I remember them well enough to draw them from memory

Anyway I loved the towers and can’t wait to see what you come up with next !

@Mithridate I’d be interested to learn more, and just generally see what kind of stuff he was designing! Is there a place I could find more information, or is it no longer available?
Edit: I know your comment wasn’t to me necessarily, but it piqued my interest!

I found one

It’s 1’x8’x12’ and can fit 800 plants

“placed in a North-south orientation, one side receives sun in the morning the other in the afternoon” “it needs a 3’ pathway if you put multiples” “Easily scalable, you can start with 2 rows for 27$”
There’s a video…

But that’s not the one I wanted. He made a spiral cascading tower that fits on top of a 5gal bucket that is simply amazing.
