    Crochet Hydroponics: Part 3

    Even though the first crocheted hydroponics trial is still going well, I think I have learned enough from that version to try some improvements for a second attempt.

    crochet-hydroponics-5The roots have grown down to the nutrient solution, and all is going well.Plants have needs, but as long as those needs are being met, they are astoundingly flexible on exactly how those needs are met.

    In this example, the plant is supplied with crocheted netting for the rooting media and support, and with air from the exposed roots and the aerated nutrient solution. The plant receives water and nutrition from the solution, and normal lighting from above. The exact same requirements a soil plant needs: those needs just get met in different ways depending on how you choose to garden.
