At Agrotonomy, we grow 32 plants indoors on a single Tower Garden HOME using LED grow lights in just less than one square meter of space. There are over 160 annual crops, including leafy greens, aromatic herbs, vegetables, as well as fruits like strawberries and melons, and even edible flowers to choose from and grow on aeroponic towers.
The tower is equipped with a low wattage submersible pump that is positioned at the bottom of the reservoir to draw the 100% natural ionic mineral nutrient solution up to the top of the tower. The pump operates at 23 watts, working intermittently 5 minutes on and 45 minutes off continuously or 2.4 hours per day. The average electricity rate in American households for October 2023 is 12.91 ¢/kWh. This means that the pump consumes about $0.21 per month.
To solve for the monthly electricity cost of the pump:
When growing indoors, it is important to use the adjustable LED grow lights, mounted to the goosenecks for the optimal growth of the crops. The LED grow lights, operating at 125 watts, should be on for 14 hours per day. Please note that the LED grow light kit is sold separately.
To solve for the monthly electricity cost of the LED grow lights:
A Tower Garden HOME with LED lights uses approximately $6.99 per month based on the average kWh price in the USA in order to grow up to 32 plants.
Tower Garden is the only aeroponic system which can be used outdoors or indoors. You can get the residential towers in the USA, Canada, and Europe through our website.
Whether growing indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, we have the right aeroponic tower for your needs.
