Aeroponics is a growing method by which plants are grown in a tightly controlled environment without soil and with very little water required. These methods eliminate the use of traditional fertilizers such as animal manure, which has been identified as a source of E. coli and other diseases. Water use is dramatically less than traditional agriculture and tightly controlled and monitored to provide the best and most essential nutrients to the plants in the safest and most efficient manner.
The controlled environment of the greenhouse protects the plants from uncontrollable outside elements such as adverse weather conditions and insects, helping to greatly minimize the need for pesticides and herbicides. Only organic pesticides and herbicides are used when needed. This means that the produce is fresh, safe, nutritious, and available throughout the year.
