Five years ago I learned of the science of aeroponics, tested by NASA to grow food in space and featured as the growing technology of the future at The Land exhibit in EPCOT® Center at Walt Disney World®.

NASA-tested aeroponic technology grows plants in water, nutrients and air — so simply and easily that anyone can succeed. The Technology Behind The AeroGarden ble a k r ema R e h t t Ge • Built-In Automated Grow Lights Energy efficient lighting system grows plants in the home at any time of year. The rest is history.
