In this article we will break down some of our favorite hydroponic / aeroponic tower garden systems. Hydroponic and aeroponic systems operate in much the same way in which soil is replaced with a direct supply of nutrients to the roots. The difference lies within the method of nutrient delivery. Hydroponic systems submerge the roots whereas aeroponic towers use a mist or spray. The best part? A hydroponics system can be fully automated. Since it is water-based, the gardener has no soil to dig or weeds to pull. Also, the water can be re-used to prevent wastage. With hydroponics, an excellent yield of quality plants can be easily achieved.
Home hydroponics systems and DIY kits are readily available online. The best part is these all in one systems maintain healthy plant nutrient ratios and deliver all on their own. Therefore, we will be looking at these systems interchangeably as the end result is the same. Delicious, home grown herbs, fruits and vegetables!
