Grow with Ilona: How to plant in an aeroponic tower

Last week, Nikki Csek of NowMedia and Ilona Morrison, assembled an aeroponic tower in preparation for growing veggies at home.

In the second episode of the series, they’ll go over how to plant your seeds as well as tips and tricks for the best possible results.

Nikki and IIona give you a step by step guide to plant kale, arugula, cucumber, basil and more in your own tower.

Learn how to maintain your tower through the growing process, from filling up the reservoir and adding minerals to controlling how much light your seedlings get.

Ilona explains the recommended placement of certain plants in the tower, depending on their size and characteristics.

In the next episode, Ilona and Nikki will be back to see if anything has sprouted, as well as going over more maintenance tips.

The towers are available for purchase and local businesses with enough room in a corner are encouraged to try it out for themselves and have a “grow off” challenge! Use the form below to get in touch with Ilona and start your growing journey!
