We’re vertically farming eggplants (aubergines) on aeroponic towers. From transplanting to the first harvest, it took 60 days of growth. It’s important to limit planting to two seedlings per growing section, positioned on opposite sides. This prevents overcrowding, reduces competition for space, and maximizes air circulation. Using this method, we grow 18 eggplant plants per tower. Harvest the fruit regularly to encourage continuous production, and be sure to use a grow cage or support structure

Aeroponic crops grow faster than traditional farming methods primarily because of the optimized growing conditions and efficient nutrient delivery system. Plants grown in the towers have their roots hanging in the air, providing an abundant supply of oxygen. This enhances root respiration, allowing plants to convert energy more efficiently, which accelerates growth. Also, the nutrient enriched water is irrigated directly to the roots of the plants which maximizes nutrient absorption because the
