Why We're Doing a Tower Garden by Juice Plus

( A picture of a tower garden my friend Nikki has running in our local health food store with the optional grow lights! )

Having a garden during the growing season is important for many reasons with number one being your health!  While some towns and cities are making it harder to garden with over regulation (people getting fines until they pull up their garden!) this makes it simple and easy even if you live in a city!  

We went this route number one for health reasons.  Both my wife and I have to eat right or suffer from symptoms from our ailments.  My wife is sensitive to gluten while I'm a type 2 diabetic.  I want a garden for a constant supply of the fruits and veggies I need to keep my diabetes in remission without drugs.  Plus with the all the news of the scary things they're spraying our veggies and fruit with AND putting in the seeds it's hard to know what to buy anymore.  Is it safe or is it full of toxic pesticides both inside and out?  Is it GMO or organic?  Now that I have a tower garden I won't have to worry about those things any longer.

My wife wants to get healthy and lose weight so having fresh fruits and veggies to snack on right out the front door is nice!  Neither one of use likes traditional gardening with all of the weed pulling, pests, fertilizing and on and on.  Not to mention it ties you down in the summer and makes it hard to go on a family vacation.  So EASE OF USE was one of my big selling points.  With a tower garden you only need to check the PH of your water one or two times per week at most and you set a timer for the pump so it is virtually maintenance free. (see the website for details).  

You can also grow indoors as well! (see the pic up top to see one at our local health store in action) For us living up here in NW Montana having the ability to grow year round is awesome.  Obviously our bodies don't stop needing good food just because of snow and cold.  With the optional grow lights I can grow greens all winter long!  Just keep a small desk fan nearby to blow on it during the day to keep your plants strong.  Then check your PH levels as before and presto you have an indoor garden!  This was the final selling point to me as now I can grow year round!

So in conclusion these are the primary reasons I went with the tower garden by juice plus.

1.  Ease of use!  No weed pulling, pest control etc.
2. Having non gmo food and no pesticides to wonder about
3. Being able to grow year round
4. Easy financing with no interest! (you pay for the first month and the 50.00 shipping fee initially, see website for full details) 

 As you can see I listed my primary reasons for having one, what would yours be?  Even if you live in an apartment in the city this would work!  As the growing season rolls along I will post updates and more reasons I love it!  For me juicing was and is a big part of how I maintain my blood sugars.  I need a constant supply of veggies for this reason and it's so much easier to have all the ingredients I need right here at home!  You owe it to yourself and your family to check this out and make sure that you always have a fresh supply of awesome produce!  Check out the details (including videos) here:  http://jsandstrom.towergarden.com/
