Friends, this super cool idea of Aeroponics is just awesome. This can be created easily within 5-10 days depending on the level you want.In this project you can cultivate pants without soil and much faster.
Material Required
- High Power Water Pump
- Flexible thin water pipes
- Plastic trays (minimum two)
- Mini spray nodes
- A tub or bucket
- Plastic foam or cloth
- Red led lights
- A stand
- Plants of short height
- Power supply
- fertilizers (which can be dissolved in water)
Make stand of required dimensions such that it can hold trays like in above picture .Place the trays firmly place trays at distance 4-5 inch greater than that of your plants .Make the whole structure and fit pipes with spray nodes at interval of 3-5 inch.Place plastic foam or stretched clothes with small holes to insert plants , make sure that roots of plants are suspended in air , the pipe should be single pieced coming from a water bucket or chamber the water pump should be connected in between bucket and stand the pipe should end in the same bucket. Dissolve the fertilizers in water bucket. The pressure of water should be moderate. Your plants will grow without soil and excess of water.Also fix LED lights on top of plants under trays.
Precautions
- Make sure that wires are away from water.
- Wires should be properly insulated.
- The whole system shouldn't leak from anywhere.
Advantages
This project has following advantages
- Crops can be grown easily at regions having harsh climate and infertile soil.
- Growth rate of plants increases as their is no barrier and plants grow without competition.
- This can be easily applied in low space and urban life.
- Plants cant get affected by any pests.
- Plants produced are of good quality.
- Initial setup cost can be high but it runs with minimum investments.
