One of my favorite summertime delights is heading to the garden, salt shaker in hand, to enjoy a couple of fresh, home grown tomatoes. Nothing can compare to the fresh taste of homegrown vegetables! You can enjoy home grown veggies, too, even if you live in a small apartment, or have little, or no yard space for a garden. How, you ask? You can grow herbs and vegetables in your kitchen! There some terrific aeroponic gardening systems that make it possible to grow veggies inside without soil! The next question most people ask is, 'what's aeroponic gardening?'
Aeroponic gardening has been tested by NASA for quite a few years now. It is a system of gardening that uses air, nutrients and water, along with artificial lighting to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables. You may have seen some small counter top versions for growing herbs advertised on television. There are small aeroponic kits for those who just want to grow a few herbs, and there are some larger towers that can produce things like herbs, green onions, radishes, and even those delicious tomatoes! The taller towers will take up about as much space as a floor lamp, so even they will fit in most kitchens.
Growing your own veggies has another advantage, besides tasting great. They will be healthier than the commercially produced vegetables you but at the grocery produce section. Commercial produce is often grown with dangerous chemicals and pesticides. When you use one of the aeroponic gardening systems, you can control what you use, giving your family much healthier vegetables. There will be no danger of another salmonella outbreak from your own home grown veggies, either!
It is easy, and fun to grow herbs and vegetables in your kitchen. Aeroponic gardening systems will eliminate the mess of using dirt and soil, and you can even produce fresh herbs and veggies the year around. Set up your own kitchen garden, and let the fun begin!
