Vertical Aeroponics Gardening At Kansas City’s Back And Bodyworks Massage

Standard

We’re just in the tenth week of our Tower Garden here at Back and Bodyworks Massage in Kansas City.  We’ve really enjoyed watching the plants pop up and take off.  We are at kind of a handicap here in that we cannot leave our Tower Garden outside and we are depending on a grow light and morning sunlight that comes in the window.

Sharon, the Founder of Back and Bodyworks, has a Tower Garden at her home that she is able to keep outside.  Real sunshine I believe makes a world of difference.  That’s why this vertical aeroponic growing system, called the Tower Garden, is perfect for a patio, deck, porch, balcony or rooftop.

Here’s a picture of Sharon’s from two weeks ago.  As you can see it is really full and flourishing.  Here’s a blog post about some other people with Tower Gardens. Vertical Veggies

Look at me GROW!

Ok, Back and Bodyworks Massage is  just beginning our 9th week with the Tower Garden.  Unfortunately because of our location on a busy main street we mostly have to keep the Tower Garden indoors with a grow light on it.

Within the last week it’s like it has taken a gigantic spurt in growing!  The tomato plants have grown at least 4 inches and the lettuce is nearly big enough for a salad!

This is an amazing product and it’s been so much fun watching it grow.

If you are in Kansas City and you need a massage give us a call at 816-420-8800.  We were just voted #1 again in 2012 for massage in Kansas City’s Northland.

We’ve jTower Gardenust started our 6th week with the Tower Garden.  When indoors it faces an east window so it’s sure to get a lot of morning sunlight.  As I’ve mentioned before, during the night we have a grow light on it.

Progress has been good!  As you can see in this 6 weeks picture there is definite growth in the plants and especially the varieties of lettuce really flourish!
