Aeroponics vs. Hydroponics

What’s a Hydroponic?
Hydroponic gardens are soil-free systems commonly used indoors. They rely on LED grow lights, nutrient-rich water solutions, and automated water pumps to support year-round growth of plants, herbs, fruits, and vegetables.
They also use 90-95% less water compared to traditional soil-based farming.

What’s an Aeroponic?
Aeroponic gardens are hydroponics, redefined.
Instead of roots sitting in water, the plant roots are suspended in air and misted with nutrients on a timed cycle. This provides constant oxygen exposure to a plant’s roots, resulting in 30-50% faster growth and typically larger plants.
Aeroponic systems also use up to 50% less water than traditional hydroponics, making them more energy efficient and sustainable.
While certain aeroponic systems are more difficult to maintain, the Eboo is designed to keep things simple and practical, while offering:
Automated Nutrient Delivery
Plants are consistently hydrated with an automated mist cycle that runs for 2 minutes every 10 minutes
Accelerated Growth
Plants grow up to 30% faster compared to those planted with traditional gardening
Made for Canadian Winters
Canadians deserve access to nutrient-rich, high-quality produce year-round, even during the coldest months.
Sustainably Made
The Eboo is crafted from certified sustainable Canadian hardwood.
From Leafy Greens to Fruits to Even Small Root Vegetables
The Eboo is an all-in-one indoor aeroponic garden system and tower designed to support a variety of plants in a simple, sustainable (and fun!) way.

Leafy Greens
Lettuce, spinach, kale, and Swiss chard grow quickly and are ideal for regular harvesting.

Herbs
Basil, cilantro, mint, oregano, and chives grow quickly and sometimes develop deeper flavours and aromas.

Microgreens
Wheatgrass, arugula, and radish sprouts can be grown and harvested quickly.

Fruits
Fruits like strawberries can grow well, especially when using techniques like Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), commonly used in hydroponics.

Small Root Vegetables
Green onions and radishes can work well, but larger vegetables like carrots can be a little more difficult to support to successfully grow.

Tomatoes & Peppers
We suggest planting miniature varieties, as these typically require less maintenance and are well-suited for vertical systems.
