Aeroponics is increasingly used in commercial production of popular, fast-growing crops like leaf lettuces and herbs. These are well suited to aeroponics because there is constant, high demand for them, year over year. These crops grow very quickly, and are generally ready for harvest in only 3-4 weeks.
Since aeroponics crops can grow very close together and can be stacked vertically as well, the cost for space is greatly reduced. In fact, production can be set up right in the middle of a densely packed downtown area in an underused basement or attic space, across the street from a selection of high end restaurants who will be eager to buy your fresh greens.
