Tower Design

Juice Plus Tower Garden

Juice Plus® offers two main growing systems – the Tower Garden Flex® and the Tower Garden Home®. The Tower Garden Flex holds up to 20 full-sized plants out of the box, while the Home holds 16 full-sized plants and 16 smaller “baby green” plants, for a total of 32 plants.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

Juice Plus® Tower Garden® lights are NOT full spectrum, meaning you cannot grow fruiting or flowering plants, and are limited to leafy veggies. Another flaw of the Juice Plus® Tower Garden® lights is that they aren’t long enough on the Flex model and offer 4 strips of lights.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

The Tower Garden® Flex + Lights costs $920 ($620 + $300 indoor lights) for ONLY 20 planting sites, making the Price Per Plant = $46. You can add an Extension for an additional $99, giving you 8 more planting sites - bringing the cost up to $1,009, for 28 plants!

Juice Plus Tower Garden

The Tower Garden® comes with a variety of seeds. You do not get to choose what seeds you get. Juice Plus also provides their own brand of nutrients that costs $60 with high shipping costs and restrictions. The proprietary blend makes it difficult and expensive to maintain and grow.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

Tower Garden® uses Aeroponics as its hydroponics technology. This method, although efficient, is only as effective as the design of the tower garden itself. A narrow tower means less access to the nutrients and less aeration/oxygen levels to the roots.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

Tower Garden® offers several extensions that vary in cost from $89 - $120 to add an additional 8-20 planting sites, making it complicated, confusing and expensive. The LED lights would NOT reach all the plants with the extension. There are no options to reduce the number of planting sites if you want to only use 10 or 12 sites.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

The Tower Garden® is easy to use, but the narrow tower and the use of Aeroponics systems require a DAILY check of water levels and nutrients. One would also need to trim roots as needed to keep them clear from the pump and the mist nozzles which could block the spray.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

The Tower Garden® Home requires the use of wingnuts, washers & screwdrivers to assemble.The assembly process has been described as cumbersome and confusing by some people, with the instruction manual not providing enough clarity.

Juice Plus Tower Garden

Juice Plus® is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that previously only sold supplements. Their focus is based on commissions and marketing, NOT on product R&D. As far as who actually invented the Tower Garden, it appears to be quite controversial.

Nutraponics Garden Tower

Nutraponics Systems are designed to work with any seeds and nutrients without locking customers into expensive after-purchase costs.

Nutraponics Garden Tower

Nutraponics Systems offer a wide range of hydroponics techniques - including DWC, NFT and Aeroponics. Each system has its own advantages and varies in use from beginner-friendly to ease of use. A professionally designed tower along with the right system helps improve the overall production.

Nutraponics Garden Tower

Nutraponics Garden Towers are designed to be stacked and layered, making it easy to control the number of planting sites depending on the requirements. The modules can be snap-n-locked in place, adding to the versatility of the system, growing from 24-80 plants without the addition of any extensions or added costs.

Nutraponics Garden Tower

Nutraponics systems require little to no supervision. The automated setup helps control the lights and the water cycle, making it easy to grow your plants with minimal daily supervision. The wide tower provides better access to the inside for regular checks without having to take apart the entire tower.

The Nutraponics Garden Towers use a lock-in-place modular system that snaps into one another without the use of any tools. Most of the assembly can be done within 30 min or less. Nutraponics offers great customer service, making it easy to get started in case of any initial hiccups.

Nutraponics Garden Tower
