Aeroponics is
easier than you might think! There are a few basic needs that plants have, which are the same for aeroponics, hydroponics or even traditional soil garden systems:
- Air (and CO2)
- Water (and nutrients)
- Light (sunlight or artificial)
- Foundation (some sort of "base" or media to anchor the plant's root system)
Aeroponics, which is growing with roots suspended in air using little or no media (think of a small container to anchor the roots rather than a large bucket, etc), is all the rage when it comes to the latest indoor and greenhouse cultivation hype, and for good reason - plants can grow bigger, faster and stronger in
aeroponics systems that allow plants to enjoy an ideal environment with little or no pests and increased efficiencies in nutrients and water usage due to the plants' hyper efficient capabilities to uptake them, because of the perfect mix of air and the perfect droplet size delivering the plants nutrients.
New aeroponic systems are capable of atomizing the water and nutrients together for even more efficient uptake by the plants. This mist contains droplet sizes identified by NASA to be optimal for nutrient uptake. NASA determined that 50 microns is the ideal droplet size through studies in the International Space Station on potato plants in the late 90's.
High pressure aeroponics equipment is capable of atomozing nutrients and water together into a fine mist that is mostly lighter than air and floats around the root chamber, bathing the plants in an average range close to or at NASA's optimal size.
