Aeroponics

Aeroponics is a method of growing plants suspended in air within an enclosed container, without using a growing medium. Nutrients are sprayed on the plant roots at intervals, providing all necessary micro and macro nutrients. Aeroponics has several advantages over hydroponics: it is disease-free since there is no medium; more water and space efficient; increases yields with less nutrient solution needed; and supports plant growth at any stage.

Hydroponics
Aeroponics
< Hydroponics-
< Uses medium:
< More prone to disease
< Water rooted
< Less water efficient
< Decreased yields
< Aeroponics-
< Does not required media
< Disease free
< Air rooted
< Extremely water efficient ( as
much)
< ncreased yields
< as much nutrient solution
needed
< The spray is high pressure-
literally cleans
< ntervals provides perfect a
oxidation period for primordia
root development
< Any stage in plant life is
supported
< Water is recycled
< Extremely space efficient
< Water used is 100%
bacteria/virus free (due to RO)
< its just easy-closed system
