Anyone that has ever researched hydroponics knows that there are many different types of systems with different features and parts. While conducting our research, we decided that the best choice would be a combination of the drip system and the ebb-and-flow system, thus Drip and Flow was born. We liked the aspect of ebb-and-flow that flooded the system for a short period of time followed by allowing the growing medium to drain. We liked the aspect of the drip system that watered the plants in the typical way, from above the plants into the growing medium. We have now planned and begun construction on a combination system.
This blog will serve as a way for us to communicate with all of our readers some of the challenges and successes we have had along the way of our hydroponics system development, growth, and harvesting. We are greatly appreciative of any information or tips that you could provide for us throughout the way. Thanks for checking in!
I like this explanation of your “drip & flow” system. Clever!
