Absolutely love the content, which has given us so many good ideas for our future homestead. Recently moved to Western NC from Central FL, so your content is almost tailor-made to what we will be facing in terms of weather and growing seasons. Lately my wife has been doing a deep dive on sourcing of vitamins and minerals in our supplements and food, and the differences between synthetically made minerals versus ones that are derived from more natural sources. I say this because when it comes to tower gardening, I am interested in hearing about the sourcing of the nutrient mixes that the hydroponic towers use. Would you happen to know? Thanks for sharing such a wealth of information😀

You will love homesteading in this area! I’ll be sharing a lot more in future videos as we expand production to include more food and most likely dairy sheep. As for the nutrients. I’m not very knowledgeable aside from knowing they are pure, no fillers and 100% from the states. This article may help. I would like to dive in and know more and possibly try other options someday if there is a better option…but right now I am pouring in to setting up more food systems and I trust tower garden. agrotonomy.com/purity-of-the-nutrients-used-for-tower-garden-and-tower-farms/

I will have to check those nutrients out! I let my tanks run almost dry. I'm not sure if that is best practice but I grow so many things on my towers they usually run out in 5-10 days in the peak fruiting season. Even my towers inside that only need water ever 5 weeks or so I still let them run almost dry. I just haven't noticed any benefit to being more precise.

Hello there! I LOVE your channel! I use Organic Pink Salt and Redmonds too! I do have a question.. How long are you leaving the jars on the counter before eating??? You said 5 days? My Cabbage, aka, Sauerkraut, is a year old this July 15th. She is in the fridge. I have 1 cup left to eat, and oh my goodness, it taste better the last 3 months till today! Absolutely divine as she ages, But I need to start eating more. What about beets? Mine are in fridge, 1 year July 15th, I eat once a week, still crunchy. You say half way through, you add more veggies, would that make the tenderness inconsistent? Or does it matter? Are you mixing the new veggies in with the older? Lastly, I am supposed to be watching my soduim intake, this is different than eating a bag of chips, correct? Ive never had an issue with ferments, but I am curious to know the difference. Thank you so very much! You are wonderful!!!
@theaeroponictowerchannel7 күн бұрын
Hi! 5 days is the earliest you want to eat them. I go through my ferments a lot faster than a year, but it is totally up to you as far as how much you eat and the age you like them. They are still fermenting in the fridge but at a much slower rate. When I top them off it does give me food with different tenderness. I like that though since some will be tender and some super fresh and crunchy. You will be able to visually tell what is older so I often scoop those out to use when possible. Beets I do the same but they do usually end up in the fridge after 2 weeks because they are more susceptable to issues. As for the sodium......my guess is it is due to high blood pressure? My thoughts from what I have learned over the years is that isn't a real salt issue. That can be cleaned up with a plant heavy, zero processed foods diet.

5 days is a good start to try and then see as they age a little more what you prefer. I use them from day 5 until they are gone which can be a few weeks depending on our schedule. All food get softer with age.

Does the boom box tower tent need lighting? Can the lighting be put on a timer? Can one add plant trays with seedlings to supply oxygen to the mushrooms and the mushrooms in tern supply CO2 to the plants under the tower tent?
@theaeroponictowerchannel12 күн бұрын
Mushrooms don't need light like plants. The light helps change the shape and color so indirect like is good but you don't need a special light system. As far as plants, I think it would be too wet for plants in the tent unless you did rainforest plants and then there could be issues with bacteria and things that mushrooms don't like....I'm not sure though, it could be a great experiment. The boom room is pumping in oxygen and water and the fan is pulling out the CO2
