Growing food and flowers in air
"We use only about 10 percent of the water of a hydroponics system. We're a closed loop, so there's very little water loss. And because plants grows more healthy, and more quickly, there are tremendous labor savings."
- Bill Sobolewski, NewGardens operations director
