There are a variety of techniques employed in hydroponics gardening. Some use
relatively inert material as a physical support for the plant roots.
Other
hydroponic techniques dispense altogether with any growing medium, delivering nutrient
solution directly to the roots, by a variety of methods.
Hydroponics systems:
Aeroponic and Cloning Machines:
A specialized form of hydroponics - no growing medium used - plant roots
hang suspended in the air and are kept misted with nutrient solution.
Deep Water Culture (passive) Hydroponics:
The simplest hydroponics system - plant is placed in
a container which stands in a tray of nutrient solution. Ideal for the beginner
"hydroponicist".
Ebb and Flow Hydroponics: (Flood and
Drain) Tray holds plants above nutrient solution - pump floods them with
nutrient solution, then drains.
Top-feed Drip Hydroponics: Pump
delivers a continuous trickle of nutrient onto the top of the growing medium in
this hydroponics system.
