Does my tiny home need a concrete pad?
While a concrete pad is the best foundation for the tiny home to sit on, in most cases you do not need one.There are some jurisdictions that do require a concrete pad for legal placement but in many cases there are several alternatives. Any hard packed surface, decomposed granite, base rock, even concrete/ wood/ blocks all can be used.It is recommended to check with local ordinances and codes before preparation.
Where can I place my tiny home?
Tiny houses can be placed nearly anywhere depending on the size and style purchased. Our standard units are built to the ANSI 119.5 building code and can be used anywhere recreational vehicles (RVs) or park model Trailers (PTs) can. These units can be used as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on properties in many cities/counties across the USA.RenTech's tiny homes built to the HUD building code standards have even more options for placement. HUD units can be placed in many of the areas that don’t have legislation for ANSI Tiny Homes as they are pre-approved dwellings that can be used as ADUs and even stand alone dwellings in most areas.Contact your local planning and/or zoning official to check current process for your city or county.
Is Tower Garden food organic?
Because soil is a prerequisite for organic growing, and aeroponic systems don’t use soil, Tower Garden can’t be classified as organic. But it can be equally as safe and healthy—and more efficient.Organic gardening requires organisms in the soil to convert “organic” material into minerals plants can use. But instead of growing plants in soil, Tower Garden uses water, oxygen, and pure, natural minerals to deliver nutrients directly to plant roots. The result is higher growth rates and greater yields than resource-intensive organic methods can achieve. And remember, since you’re growing the plants, you control the use of herbicides and pesticides.So you could say Tower Garden is better than organic, because you get the same results (and more)—without the dirt.
What is aeroponics?
Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment, without the use of soil. It is the most effective and efficient way to provide plants with necessary nutrients, hydration, and oxygen.
