A drip system is another more advanced
hydroponic system. It has a reservoir system
that utilizes an air pump to keep the reservoir
solution moving and a nutrient pump that sends
your solution up to the plants. In this case, the
root system is not exposed. The plants are grown
in your standard hydroponic medium like coco
coir or vermiculite. When the water is pumped up
from the reservoir, it is fed to the plants through
from hoses above the top layer of medium. The
water literally drips from the hoses onto the
medium and is controlled by a timer to go on
and off at specific intervals. Set up isn’t exactly
a snap, so they should probably be reserved for
more advanced hydroponic gardeners.
Hydroponics are the way to go for a full
nutrient spread without any guess work. The
various techniques of hydroponic cultivation
produce crops faster than traditional soil
systems and produce higher yields across
the board. Any one of the hydroponic systems
outlined above will work great for your home
grow and help you achieve all the goals you
have set for yourself and your garden.
