("Most vertical farms grow plants on horizontal shelves stacked like a tall dresser. Plenty uses tall poles from which the plants jut out horizontally. The poles are lined up about 4 inches from one another, allowing crops to grow so densely they look like a solid wall. Plenty’s setups don’t use any soil. Instead, nutrients and water are fed into the top of the poles, and gravity does much of the rest of the work. Without horizontal shelves, excess heat from the grow lights rises naturally to vents in the ceiling. 'Because we work with physics, not against it, we save a lot of money' ")

(b) The print and online versions are same. However, there is no need to read the rest. I would like to know how plants grow in a vertical column and jut out horizontally, but there is nothing in company website, or elsewhere in the Web.

from the Web: "Gravitropism is either positive which means 'with gravity' [such as plant root] or negative gravitropism which means against gravity [eg, plant stem].
