What is Aeroponics?
Simply put, aeroponics is a system of plant cultivation where the plants' roots are not buried in soil or any other media. Instead, aeroponic garden plants grow in containers of liquid fertilizer.Aeroponics vs Hydroponics Aeroponics and hydroponics are similar growing systems. In hydroponic gardening plant roots are submerged in a substrate and much more water is used than in growing aeroponics. To give you an example of the differences in water use between different growing methods: It takes about 78 gallons of water to grow 2 lbs. of tomatoes in the ground, 18 gallons to
grow the tomatoes hydroponically
and about 5 gallons to grow them in an aeroponic garden. Aeroponic systems use so little water because the nutrients are supplied into a closed circuit. None is wasted. None evaporates. This smaller amount of water makes aeroponic growing systems very lightweight. They can easily be stacked, moved, or even suspended.

Buy the Power Plant Grow Lamp With Bulb This is the best grow lamp to use with the Power Plant Pro above. In aeroponic culture plant roots are not submerged in water but are kept wet with a constant fog or mist of liquid fertilizer solution. This allows for a better balance of air and water around the roots. Nutrients are taken up more quickly. As a result, aeroponics crops grow at an accelerated rate. Because aeroponic growing systems are housed indoors, the climate can be controlled to produce non-stop growth. Aeroponic gardens allow you to: Produce greater yields in a smaller space.Use very little fertilizer.Raise your
favorite herbs,
vegetables, or even
annual flowers
year round.Grow herbs and vegetables that taste exactly like those grown in soil.Save money on plant food, water and growing media. Aeroponics systems are reusable. Once you have made the initial investment, ongoing costs are very low.
