We live in a condo so don’t have space for a traditional garden. While I had a few small planters on our balcony, it gets quite windy (and cold) where we live. Plus, there wasn’t enough sunlight in the winter. Enter – ALTO GARDEN. What a difference to grow indoors in a controlled environment. I have more pots to grow in too… we are growing parsley, basil, chives, and a few lettuce varieties in our tower. Hydroponics lets us enjoy food we can grow ourselves. Highly recommend!

As a newbie to hydroponics, I wasn’t sure what to expect but let me tell you… it really works! It’s so nice to pick fresh lettuce off our tower for our dinner salad. And we don’t have to wash everything and wait for the leaves to dry either. Just pick and eat. We pick the outer leaves and the inner leaves grow out again rather quickly. Definitely recommend you give it a try. It feels like sustainable farming. It feels good to grow our own food and it’s a good lesson for our kids too.

This is my second hydroponic tower. The ALTO GARDEN GX is made of high quality parts, unlike our first tower which used this thin, brittle plastic. I was pleasantly surprised at the thickness of the plastic on the ALTO GARDEN. There’s also a built-in timer on the light base which goes on top of the tower. The light base rotates so you can adjust where the lights are. You can also extend the lights closer, or further away from your plants as they grow. Really good design on this tower.

We are so happy with our ALTO GARDEN GX Tower. When buying lettuce and herbs at the grocery store I was so concerned about washing everything. It’s so nice to have organically grown food right in my kitchen. The lights are on a timer. The water pump is on a timer too, so it’s pretty automated. I make sure to check the PH of the water and add nutrients once a week. That’s about it. Really easy to maintain my tower garden and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
