Planting With Hydroponics System

The simplest system I do in hydroponic gardening is to use a wick system. This is the simplest way, because the provision of nutritional intake through the roots of the plant is channeled with media or assistance in the form of axes. For planting media, you can use various ingredients sold in gardening places such as gravel, husk charcoal, rockwool, coconut fiber (which is important not from the soil), but my favorite uses rockwool media because it is cheaper. The reason I always garden is using the wick system, I only need to use used bottles. I just split the bottle, giving the axis on the top lid and reversing the bottle. And for the bottom portion of the bottle I give liquid nutrition. These nutrients will spread through the fabric of the axis up and between the plant media so that the roots of the plant get nutrients. But of course, behind this cool system, there are weaknesses. This system is only suitable for plants that do not require a lot of water. This is due to the ability of the axis to distribute nutrients is limited. But at least this simple (and inexpensive) method really helped me to improve my gardening hobby. At present I am planting a number of plants that I can cook, spinach, kale, chili, tomatoes, peppers, mustard greens and lettuce.
