We are a family owned & operated, Aeroponics, Aquaponics and Hydroponics farm specializing in growing hydro-organic vegetables!
It all started from a dare! A friend of mine worked with me at a web hosting company and he was waiting to talk to me about a company issue; Unfortunately, I was on the floor but, on another call. Unknown to me this caller would be the start of a burning quest of food quality, equality, and individual sustainability. My friend overheard the support call I was on and it dealt with a website about a Hydroponic tomato plant growing up to 4 inches in one day. This was shocking to hear!
I then, asked the website owner, “was this a real plant?” “You must be using some type of chemical growth like miracle grow or something?”, I said.
The website owner pleasantly responded,” No, it is not Miracle Grow,” she added “the fast plant growth is truly one of the powers of growing naturally with Hydroponics.” She said, “read my website and email me any questions you have!”
I, of course, had to look at her website at this point. A challenge was brewing between my friend and me. I read about her use of 13 main nutrients for plants on her website and thought simply, “I don’t know… It really does not look that hard!”
And of course, came a bet between my friend and me. He bet me that I could not make ANY plant grow like that and it is a waste of money! I quickly said, “Ok, you’re on- Watch this!” I revisited her website that night and read everything I could. I downloaded her hydroponics maintenance sheets and anything available she offered. Now I am ready to go make my finds of materials and get started! So, I thought, I could simply go to my local Lowe’s store or Tractor Supply and buy the nutrients I needed to start up my hydroponics endeavors, but I found out quickly -that was NOT the case. I had to go to a Monk Monastery 50 miles away from my home on the Southside of Atlanta to the North Georgia area just to find hydroponics nutrients!
There they grow bonsai trees and they had 1 bonsai tree that was 300 years old, at the time. They gave me various products like Dyna-Grow, liquid seaweed, and some trace minerals. Many miles and hours of research later I was on my way…
So, I went and got 6 tomatoes plants and begin applying her maintenance sheet. In my initial trials, I lost 4 plants and then realized all my mistakes. In the end, I grew 2 tomato plants with vines that grew over 43 ft long and tons of tomatoes hanging off the vines! I did it! A soilless plant, that I grew! My friend could not believe it! He instantly wanted to know more! So, I begin to show him, as he then began to build all types of small systems from my current growth success practices. At that time, I was doing this as a hobby! And since have continued growing using Hydroponics methods consistently for about 12 years; incorporating Aquaponics and Aeroponics growing methods too.
