Claim 16:
17. A system of growing, monitoring, and purchasing plants for growing in a plant growing apparatus comprising:
providing a rotatable planting column formed of a plurality of sections removably coupled to one another to form a cavity;
assigning a plant pod having an individual species of plant an identifier;
classifying environmental variables that are associated with the identifier;
assigning a location code to the plant pod location within the plant growing apparatus, the location code being assigned to an opening of the rotatable planting column that provides access for at least a portion of the plant pod to the cavity;
implementing a control algorithm to determine optimal environmental conditions based on the environmental variables associated with the identifier and the location code;
averaging the environmental variables identified by the control system for a combination of plant species and locations within the system positioned in separate openings of the rotatable planting column; and
regulating the environment to achieve that preference one or more of the average environmental variable and the optimal environmental conditions;
wherein, regulating the environment includes distributing an aqueous solution with a dispensing apparatus throughout the cavity of the rotatable planting column.
