Tower Garden
Save money by growing your own food in a few square feet on your own sunny patio, deck or rooftop. The Tower Garden is the world’s first, one of a kind, vertical “Aeroponic” garden. It is easy to assemble and fun for the whole family to watch your food grow from a seed to an abundant harvest in just a few weeks.
Aeroponics is the system of spraying water and nutrients on the bare roots of plants at regular intervals. Therefore, there is no dirt or weeding involved. Because the 20 – 28 plants, including tomatoes, are stacked vertically in a 2 1/2 square foot area there is little stooping or bending required and you won’t even get your hands dirty. Plants grown aeroponically grow in just a little more than 1/2 of the time it takes for the same plant to grow in regular garden soil.
It uses an all natural, earth mineral growing tonic so you have great tasting organic produce ready to pick as you need it. Very simple to operate, plant the 20 – 28 pots, add water and the Tower Tonic nutrients and plug it in. It can be placed on your deck or balcony in the sunlight so it is always handy regardless of whether you have a sunny area for a garden or just a balcony. Because it can be placed away from critters there is little need for insecticides or pesticides.
The Tower Garden will come with everything you will need to get started including the Tower Tonic (nutrients) and 5 seed packets: Basil, Cucumber, Gourmet Lettuce, Cherry Tomato, and Beefsteak Tomato.

 3 Livestock Grass Sprouters |
SRFs Alternative Feed Systems for livestock have been specifically developed to sprout grain and legume seeds for highly nutritious and cost effective livestock feed. You may already be spending as much or more for feed as it would to purchase one of these units and feed your livestock.
Grow Spring Season Quality Green Grass Indoors Out of the Weather all Year around
Produce up to one ton of highly nutritious and tender Spring season quality green grass daily for your livestock inside the comfort of a shed regardless of your local weather or climate conditions. Any animal that forages will consume the feed produced. For example; Cattle, Horses, Goats, Sheep, Hogs, Chickens, Zebras and other Zoo animals and many more.
Cost and Operation:
SRFs Alternative Feed System units operate on an average power cost of $2 per day. The system uses only .5 to 1.0 gallons of water to produce 2.2 lbs of green grass, whereas conventional growing methods require approximately 21 gallons of water. The irrigation water can be re-used for animal hydration.
These units will produce highly nutritious feed at a per-pound cost of $.03 – $.06 cents. Additionally, dependence upon rain or soil moisture content is eliminated as this unit is a controlled growing environment. Spring pasture quality green grass fodder can be available year around
The feed is harvested in a sprout mat that is completely edible and high in nutrition. The entire process, from seeding of the growing trays to actual fodder feed, takes only six days. Growth is achieved in a totally controlled environment which gives the producer the ability to provide a consistent high nutrient 100 percent organic green feed to their animals regardless of weather or unstable market prices.
Depending on the size of the system purchased, a typical operation takes from only 15 to 60 minutes per day to harvest, clean and seed the AFS unit.
Animals consume all of the biscuit–the roots and the green roughage–so it minimizes waste on feed. You have a highly nutritional feed that’s high in moisture, so there’s a better hydration rate and better nutritional absorption into the bloodstream. It’s easier for the animals to digest.
We recommend feeding the sprouts on day 6 or 7 because that is when the sprout/seed is at it’s optimum nutritional value.
Even better, the AFS requires no pesticides or fertilizers
Feeding: Based on suggested Fodder nutritional data:
Day to day feeding: 1% of animals total body weight per day. For an 800 pound animal you would feed approximately 8 pounds or 1/2 of a biscuit.
Finishing Weight feeding: 3% of animals total body weight per day. For a 1200 pound steer you would feed approximately 36 pounds or 2 biscuits per day.
We also recommend providing about one-half this amount of dry hay to add roughage and improve the nutritional value of each feeding.
Note: You may already be spending as much money feeding your livestock as it would take for a short period of time to feed your livestock very well and pay for a Livestock sprouter!
1. Multiply 2 pounds of grain x the number of full size horses or cattle you plan to feed x the $cost of the grain per pound.
2. Add the cost of hay, 45 gallons of water daily, $1-2 for electricity to get a total daily cost.
3. Multiply the daily cost x 30 to obtain a monthly cost.
4. Compare the daily and monthly cost of feeding the high quality fresh green grass sprouts versus your current daily and monthly cost and quality.

Sun Circle & Sun Twist Replacement Hurst Motors
Sun Circle & Sun Twist Light Mover replacement motors and assembly are available from the original company that created the Sun Circle & Sun Twist Light Movers.
These revolving Light Movers are now discontinued but replacement motors are available to keep the existing units performing as well as ever.
There are two motors available for the Sun Circle or Sun Twist Light Mover depending upon the year that you purchased the original light mover. Both motors will work. The difference is in the holes drilled for attaching the motor to the light mover.
The two alignment holes would need to be drilled out if the replacement motor you purchase now is not the same one as the original motor. Otherwise either motor will work with either light mover.
A Grainger motor for Sun Circle light movers purchased or built prior to 1998 requires oiling occasionally for proper maintenance.
•Motor Ref No: 2736
•HGM-4007-1 Dayton 3M096
•120V 60HZ .5A 7 RPM
•(needs to be oiled)
•A Hurst motor for Sun Circle light movers built after 1998 does not require oiling and is a little bit faster.
•Model SA P/N 4002-008
•6RPM 115V 60HZ 1/2W
The Hurst motor is a direct replacement for Sun Circle and Sun Twist light rotators manufactured in 1998 or later. It runs at 16 revolutions per hour and does not need to be oiled. Complete installation instructions are included.
Replacement gear set
Optional replacement of the two plastic gears attached to the motor. This gear set fits both motors.
Replacement Armature Brushes
Replacement armature brushes are available: Two required for each arm of the Sun Circle Light Mover.

Megafarm Drip Hydroponic System
The MegaFarm is one of the only hydroponics systems out on the market that can grow extra large sized plants, including many varieties of trees.
 Megafarm Drip system |
It will grow small, medium, large and extra large plants. With its large water capacity and low water requirements, the MegaFarm is simple and efficient.The MegaFarm is built out of thick high-impact plastic to assure a long service life. It has a unique 20 gal growing chamber on top of another 20 gal reservoir, along with a dual drip ring to allow the grower unlimited plant options. This system is sized 1 ft x 1 ft. |
To use the MegaFarm system, place a large plant seedling or cutting in the center of the bucket (or place several smaller plants around the drip rings), fill the nutrient reservoir with water and nutrients, plug in the air pump and grow beautiful plants. Use the MegaFarm from seedling or cutting for the entire life of the plant.
The hydroponics process results in an increase in plant growth as well has in health and vigor. The large growing chamber will accommodate and allow roots to grow with little restriction.
