What is Aeroponics?
Aeroponic Farming is a practice of growing plants without the use of traditional substrates and uses a conservative amount of nutrient-dense water. With this method of farming the roots of the plants are suspended in an enclosed area where they are misted with water carrying essential nutrients.
Unlike hydroponics or traditional land-based methods involving soil, the roots of these aeroponically grown plants receive ample oxygen supporting more robust and healthy growth. When aeroponics and indoor vertical farming are combined, using energy-efficient LED lights and tall warehouse-style shelving, farmers can make much better use of the space they occupy, growing their crops year-round and producing much more with fewer inputs and waste.
Hydroponic Ebb-and-flow tables are used to start the seedlings of the lettuce heads and to grow microgreens, pea shoots, and wheat grasses, with the potential for much more!
Light: A light resources enable the plant to photosynthesize and store energy
Support Structure: A medium such as cloth , separates the plants from their roots and gives them support to grow
Water and nutrients: A nutrient-heavy mist in the solution chamber is absorbed by plants’ roots system
