hydroponicsystem

Aeroponic systems nourish plants with nothing more than nutrient-laden mist. The concept builds off that of hydroponic systems , in which the roots are held in a soilless growing medium, such as coco coir, over which nutrient-laden water is periodically pumped. Aeroponics simply dispenses with the growing medium, leaving the roots to dangle in the air, where they are periodically puffed by specially-designed misting devices. In aeroponics systems, seeds are “planted” in pieces of foam stuffed into tiny pots, which are exposed to light on one end and nutrient mist on the other. The foam also holds the stem and root mass in place as the plants grow. What you'll need to build your own basic Aeroponic system: Container to hold the nutrient solution (a reservoir). Submersible fountain/pond pump. Tubing to distribute water from the reservoir pump to the mister heads in the growing chamber. Enclosed growing chamber for the root zone. Mister/sprinkler heads. Water tight container for the...
