The AeroSpring(TM) is an easy to build aeroponics system that can be assembled in an afternoon from inexpensive, easy to find parts. The Aerospring aeroponics system operates by feeding plant roots with a gentle spray of nutrient solution while they are suspended, mid-air, inside the aeroponic chamber. This "aeroponic" method of feeding exposes roots to elevated levels of Oxygen that stimulates metabolic activity and results in growth beyond that which is possible using conventional methods of horticulture. In fact, growth rates of up to ten times that possible in soil have been observed when growing vegetables, herbs, flowers and greens in an aeroponic system.

Since aeroponic plants grow faster, they mature earlier and yield more, so its easy to make the most of your precious space and spare time. Before the first edition of How-To Hydroponics in 1994, the cost of buying a commercially available aeroponic system was prohibitively expensive, but since then, thousands of readers have built aeroponic systems from the plans in How-To Hydroponics and experienced exponentially increased growth, yield and product quality, without breaking the bank! This latest set of plans for the Aeropspring aeroponic system are a significant improvement over previous designs.

If this is your first do-it yourself hydroponics project, follow the plans to the 'T', if you're a seasoned vet, modify the design to incorporate your own ideas and improvements. Either way, you'll be amazed at how quickly your favorite plants will grow in this aeroponic system. General specifications listed below are subject to your choice of materials;

• Grow 8-12 full-sized plants
• Quiet, low power pump uses < 20w
• Uses less water and nutrients than open-bed systems
• No time to build? "Just add water" kits available
