A couple of weeks ago, we officially started our Tower Garden by placing the Rockwool blocks, which contain the seedlings, into the pods of the Tower Garden. Now, our plants will be getting circulated water from inside the middle cylinder--it's kind of like a water fountain inside. The water gets circulated by a pump for fifteen minutes, and then it's off for forty-five minutes. Before we placed our plants in the pods, we used a dry erase marker and wrote what kind of plant it is below the pod.
Before we put them in the Tower Garden itself, we had to allow them to germinate and grow roots first. Tyson's plant (rainbow chard) was BY FAR the clear winner of the "Longest Root" contest. :)
Noah's plant came in second which was surprising because his seedling wasn't as big as the rainbow chard at all.
