5 Hydroponic Systems – Which one is Right For You?
Friday, February 27th, 2009There are 5 most common methods used for nutrient delivery in a hydroponic garden. They include:
-
Water Culture Method
-
Nutrient Film Technique(NFT)
-
Ebb and flow
-
Drip
-
Wick
Each hydroponic nutrient delivery method has both advantages and disadvantages. For this reason it is important, as you plan your hydroponic garden, to decide on a method that suits you. Keep in mind the location of your garden, materials required, ongoing maintenance and your skill level.
Personally, for those starting out, I reccomend the "water culture method". This is easier to setup and more importantly, to maintain. This method provides a great starter hydroponic garden for those who want to have a test run before building a more comprehensive garden. It also can be a great educational tool for teachers wanting to introduce students to hydroponic gardenning.
