Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro water and ponos labour) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, or mineral wool.

you mean unsa ang difference sa aeroponics and hydroponics? or hydroponic ug hydroponics? if hydroponic ug hydroponics wla may difference...spelling lang on how you use the word...anyway...if aero and hydro, aeroponics is under "hydroponics" which a fine mist is sprayed sa roots sa plants while it is suspended...


there are many ways to build a hydroponic system...ebb and flow...NFT...aeroponics...etc...

dude, whered you get the KNO3 and KH2PO4 here in cebu?

I havent started with my project but I just sent out an order for several ready made hydroponic nutrients because some of the stuff i cant really find here for cheap (and i am).

Also, is that LECA in your pics? did you purchase them here in cebu?

[herp_doctor]

back then, when i was a kid, my father started this project. circa early 80's... he grown back then the vegetables and some frits as well as roots we served on the table... they grew fast and more plump than the regular farm-grown ones...

this was back when we were living in leyte then.. my father used to work for Philphos
