Tower Garden by Juice Plus: Has anyone used this?

Anything with a payment plan reminds me of a car - big investment. It's not something I'd put my extra money into, friend or no!

I had a look at their website and it looks like an interesting idea but it does appear a little pricey and, if I'm reading things correctly, you're going to be buying supplies from them forever too, kinda makes you wonder if the amount of produce you're likely to get from it makes it cost effective.

I have a friend trying to talk me into one too....but she hasn't even tried it yet! I'm going to do my regular garden this summer and if this thing actually works for her maybe I will give it a try next fall.

I am a JP distributor and my Tower Garden is being delivered tomorrow. I cannot wait to get it and start growing my own stuff. I know I'm going to love it. My friends who have them swear by them!

Update - I've had my TG for a month now and i LOVE it. I can't say enough good things about it! We started some things from seed and transferred some seedlings that we bought . All 20 pots are filled and everything is growing successfully. People say it's pricey... but I guarantee most people could find an extra $46 in their monthly budget that is wasted on unnecessary things - and what a great investment! Feel free to contact me if you want pictures - I've been taking them all along to show it's growth.

I love my Tower Garden. It has helped me to eat healthy and fresh even in the heat of South Texas. It's just a matter of priorities, most people don't think twice about spending $200 bucks on upgrading their cell phone or buying a kindle or spending $43 a month to add their kids to a cell phone plan. It is made by an American, in America and distributed by a debt free American Company. So I guess there will always be the nay sayers, but I beleive in facts and results, not opinions.

We got our Tower Garden two weeks ago. The decision to purchase it was based on the money we would SAVE, not how much we were spending to get it. I have tried conventional gardening for years without great success becauseI I just don't have the time to keep it up and to constantly water and weed it. Getting a conventional garden started is expensive. Soil, manure, fertilizer, stakes, tomato cages etc. It adds up in a hurry. Then add the constant watering to that. I try to feed my family lots of greens but honestly, I have to throw away a lot because it goes bad before we get to it. Tomatoes cost $1 a piece and my family wants to eat them all the time. Strawberries are always popular but half the time they aren't sweet and many strawberries are moldy already before you bring them home. This year I hope to be able to tell my kids, Yes, eat all the strawberries and tomatoes you want instead of saying; no, you can only have this many or sorry, we don't have any.

About having to buy the supplies forever from the seller is not any different than having to go to garden stores to buy your supplies for you regular garden. You always end up buying it somewhere and someone is making money off it.
The person who said you could build one yourself for $20, please price it out for us. We thought we'd save some money and didn't buy the dolly on wheels accessory. My husband built one but knowing now that the wheels alone cost $10 a piece we ended up spending more on the materials (wood, hardware and paint) than if we had bought with the Tower garden.
I live in SC and it get very hot here during the summer and gardens need lots of water. The idea of recycling the water and having a timer that can be adjusted was very appealing to me.
I'm planing on growing produce that is expensive to buy, such as cauliflower, eggplant and fennel (which is also hard to find).
I can't wait to get started!

I have one as well.....and today (March 14) still have the original Kale plant going I planted a year ago.....was well worth the investment. I also did not buy wheels. I did buy a tomato cage. I have had to purchase the nutrients twice so $80 in past year. Still have half a jug each. Grew this winter in my kitchen with $10 walmart grow lights.

We are also looking at investing in one of these and I'm happy to see that others have had success. I'm curious about the business opportunity. If anyone sells the Tower Garden, I'd like more info. Thanks!

I love my Tower Garden!!! This is my second year growing vegetables. If your concerned about pesticides, herbicides and GMO's this is a great product. Or if you want to garden but have limited space this is also a great gift to yourself. If you don't want a payment plan then you can pay for it in full.

Interesting product

I have one and I definitely love it! I used to spend $20 a week at the farmers market, so buying my tower garden for $50 a month was money ahead in the first month! In 3 weeks I was harvesting lettuce!
One year later it is paid for and now my costs are $60 a year for the plant nutrients, and seeds and rock wool to replant!
If you have ever purchased lettuce, vegetables and then thrown them away after they rotted in your fridge -- that is money thrown away!
I decided to plant what I buy every week anyway, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cantaloupe, then I added pak choy, swiss chard, leeks, and kale! Now I eat a lot of green smoothies and have fresh and organic produce!

It's kind of cool, but I would compare it to other available hydroponic/aeroponic systems before you invest. And don't be so quick to dismiss the pot growers--they know their sh**

I love the feedback on this post!
We started taking Juice Plus and their Complete Protein Powder in Jan and love it! And now we are buying a Tower Garden with our refund and it can't get here fast enough!!

The insects don't seem to be an issue for me on my towers like they were with traditional gardening. As for the deer if you can some how fence it in or I think I saw a guy that has designed a system of after market attachments like plastic covering like a green house effect and also netting to protect the crop. I may be able to put you in touch with him for his accessories. I think he even does solar systems for people interested in that option. I do have pictures of several tower gardens at various stages of growth I am happy to share.
