About three weeks ago our aeroponic tower was installed with small shoots of veggies such as Pak Choy, Thai basil and even eggplant! Three weeks on and it’s just about overgrown. The rate at which these vegetables are growing is faster than we’ve ever seen on campus, clearly, this new technology creates an environment of nutrients, minerals and hydration that accelerates its growth.

Below is a side by side comparison to see this incredible growth.

Growing on the aeroponic is the following,

Dwarf Tomatoes, Red Giant Mustard, Nufar Basil, Black Leaf Pak Choy, Rocket, Marigold Tangerine Gem, Kyoto Minuza, Orange Mint, Dark Opal Basil, Mulato Chili, Tuscan Kale, Baby Eggplant, Chinese Capsicum, Leaf Lettuce Thai Basil, Mustard Greens, Ulam Raja, Lemon Balm and Butterhead Lettuce.
