HOW IT WORKS

Explore the Garden Tower® 2

The Project is manufacturing durable injection molded DIY Face Mask Frames for individuals, families, companies (essential workers) and communities.

• The Garden Tower® 2 holds 5.5 cubic feet of potting soil for immense root support. Watch Video
• Central perforated composting column is directly accessed by plant roots for organic nutrition. Watch Video
• Heavy duty injection molded stacking Planting Rings support up to 1,000 lbs (see video!). Watch Video
• 50 large, curved planting pockets for easy planting, fast root removal, and no stem abrasion. Watch Video
• Unparalleled nutrient access for the most nutritious, organic harvest — Watch the video to learn how: Watch Video
• Proudly made in the UK, 100% Food Grade UK UV stable HDPE plastic for true organic growing, 5-year manufacturer warranty.
• Enhanced nutrient & air distribution: The patented GT2 vermicomposting tube features 265% more openings for greater access by plant roots and compost oxygenation.
• It rotates! 360 degree rotation made possible by a robust integrated bearing track = optimized sun exposure and better plant access in tight spaces.
• Wide, heavy, reinforced, anchor able feet attach the tower securely to a rooftop, etc. The available Premium Caster Kit allows the Garden Tower® to be frequently moved.
• Removable compost/nutrient tea drawer collects 2 gallons of nutrient enriched water for another pass by plant roots.
• Compost release gate allows for seasonal removal of finished compost & provides for aeration of the vermicompost from below.

How the Garden Tower® grows more nutritious food in less space

• In moderate climates water from the top 4-6 gallons 3x per week during peak summer growth, and 1-2x per week during spring & fall. Water once a month in the winter to maintain soil structure.
• Every time the Garden Tower® is watered, available (soluble) nutrients are moved from root zone to root zone as the water moves through the connected soil levels. Nutrient uptake is increased for faster growing, more nutritious plants.
• Add compostable non-meat kitchen scraps and "browns" (shredded paper, etc) from your kitchen to the compost tube.
• Internal horizontal shelves entirely prevent potting soil compaction and aid in absorption of water back into the soil. This helps extend the life of most potting soils to several years.
• In a raised-bed or typical container, >90% of available nutrition is lost below the root zone. The Garden Tower® recovers these nutrients and optimizes delivery to the plant roots for hydroponic-like growth rates.
• Red worms eat the kitchen compost as soon as it begins to decay. Red worms stay near the fresh compost and are protected from dryness, excess moisture, heat and cold by the surrounding soil.
  This stable red worm habitat is why the Garden Tower® is much easier to maintain than typical vermicompost bin or bag systems.
• If introduced, night crawler worms travel throughout the layers of rich compost and the potting soil helping to transport nutrients and create pathways for maximum soil and compost aeration.
• Plant roots DIRECTLY ACCESS the compost column for natural nutrition.
  This concept is everywhere in nature but unique to the Garden Tower® container gardening system.
• If introduced, night crawler worms travel throughout the layers of rich compost and the potting soil helping to transport nutrients and create pathways for maximum soil and compost aeration.
• Dark, rich finished compost can be removed from below every 90 days during the growing seasons. Kitchen scraps are reduced in volume by 10-20x.
• The compost gate is fully perforated to maximized air entry into the compost from below. The gate slides out allowing the compost to drop into the drawer for removal.
• The 2 gallon drawer captures all water or "nutrient leachate" that exits the potting soil for reuse. This leachate or "nutrient tea" has been analyzed and contains a balance of essential nutrients for plants.
