How long does it take to set up? Do I need any tools?
Setup takes about 20–30 minutes. No special tools required. A small screw driver is included to secure the base. It’s plug-and-play.
Where can I place my tower?
Anywhere with access to a standard power outlet. You can use it indoors (basement, kitchen, side room, with the light kit) or outdoors seasonally (balconies, patios, gardens, greenhouse). Just make sure it’s protected from extreme temperature and direct harsh weather when outside. If it is exposed to wind, we recommend securing the top of the tower so it cannot blow over in a sharp gust.
How often do I water the tower?
Our closed-loop reservoir recirculates water. You’ll need to top it up with fresh water and nutrients about once a week, if it is very hot, possibly twice (depending on your plant load, ambient heat and humidity).
Do I need to measure pH levels or buy fancy water?
Tap water works well. You will need to balance the PH so that your plants can thrive and optimally absorb nutrients. Just follow the instructions for additives/nutrients, and occasionally refresh or clean the system.
What kind of growing medium do you use?
We use rockwool cubes that provide moisture and aeration to roots. They are pH neutral and work well in aeroponic systems.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. The system is soil-free, clean, and low-risk. For curious pets, avoid letting them drink from the reservoir. If kids are involved, this is a great hands-on educational experience.
What happens if there’s a power outage or the pump fails?
Without power, the pump won’t run, so plan to manually care for plants (watering by pouring nutrients in the top, or temporarily placing the net pots into trays with nutrient solution if the outage is extended.
We have replacement pumps in stock in case yours breaks. Generic submersible aquarium pumps will also work just fine.
What types of plants can I grow in a Salad Tree system?
You can grow leafy greens (lettuce, spinach, kale, etc.), herbs (basil, cilantro, mint, etc.), flowers, vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc.), and even small fruits (e.g. strawberries) depending on your setup.
Do seeds come included? Can I grow my own varieties?
We don’t currently sell seeds - you may find seeds at a gardening supply, local seed exchanges, and online seed companies such as West Coast Seeds, https://www.damseeds.com
How long until harvest?
You can expect initial harvests in about 4-5 weeks from seeding or transplanting for leafy greens. Fruit-bearing or flowering plants may take longer.
What kind of warranty do you offer on towers & components?
We offer a warranty on defects in workmanship or materials for all original tower components. If parts break or fail under normal use, we will replace them within 1 year of purchase.
Can I return my tower if I change my mind?
Yes, we have a 30 day return policy. Items must be unused, in original packaging. Buyer covers return shipping unless there was an error. There is a 10% restocking fee.
