| My Tower Garden at 2 Weeks |
I must confess, I do not have a green thumb. So, when the opportunity came to grow my own garden without the mess of dirt and bugs, I was thrilled to jump right in.
However, it did take some convincing my hubby. He was not so happy with the cost of the Tower. It is a big whopping $525 (not including shipping). YES, I know it is EXPENSIVE. BUT, if you calculate the cost of produce you purchase weekly, it does add up. Especially for my family of 8. When he realized how much I spent, it made sense to purchase this tower. Besides, after a while the unit would pay for itself.
If you put all cost aside, the quality of food that you would be getting is so much better for your family. This is something I want to be able to pass along to my children. Healthy eating habits and the ability to grow your own food.
