Is aeroponics yet possible? Any good resources for it?
- zafka 4y agoOrchids, Air plants...
- thinkcontext 4y agoAerofarms is a company that uses it, they have more than one 100K+ square foot facilities.
- traverseda 4y agoSure, just use misters instead of flowing water. The end result is the same, you get the growth medium (often just clay balls) wet. I don't think there's really much of a practical difference between aeroponics and hydroponics. Basically just use some brass mist nozzles and make sure that the growth medium your plants are in (probably clay balls) stays moist. That's literally all there is to it, it's just another way to deliver water to the plants.
- jonathankoren 4y agoOh yeah. Just get a small storage box, drill some holes in the lid to hold the plants in net cups, stick a small water fountain pump at the bottom, and build a pvc manifold with some sprayers. Hook it up for a timer that's 5 minutes on, 10 minutes off, and you're done. It's super easy. You do have to watch the water level. If the water level falls below the minimum pressure, the roots will quickly die. https://twitter.com/jonathankoren/status/1292250185687416832 https://twitter.com/jonathankoren/status/1292250185687416832
