Build A Hybrid Aeroponic/Hydroponic System
One of the most popular hydroponic systems in use today is this hybrid aeroponic/hydroponic system made from various sizes of PVC pipe. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, this easy to operate garden is expandable and relatively easy to build. It operates by suspending plants in small baskets through which the roots grow downward past a finely misted air gap and into a gentle flow of highly oxygenated nutrient solution. This combination of aeroponics and hydroponics was first devised in Ein Gedi, Israel.
