There are many methods and even more variations of, forhydroponic gardening. The two most generic classifications are

Recirculating; using a reservoir the same feed water is usedover and over.

Drain to Waste; the feed water is applied once and is then lo

Most hydroponic gardens are recirculating or can be set up thatway. Below are a few of the most popular methods of hydro.

Deep Water Culture

DWC is sometimes referred to as Bubbler System or similar effect.Easiest of all hydro systems to operate, the plant is suspended orfloats atop an ae r a t e d(most important part) nutrient solution.

There is no pump to fail! That is a very attractive aspect of DWC.Just change water on a weekly basis and youre growing hydro! Thiis also a preferred method in more leafy vegetative plants. Lettuce

and cabbage or very commonly grown commercially in water culturgardens, very, very large ones.

Ebb and Flow

Inspired by nature, Ebb and Flow or Flood and Drain took a concepseen on the shores of any coast line, the tide recedes to the sea andfloods back inover and over. Nutrient solution floods the root zon

then drains away, repeating this over and over. The drain aspect alsacts as a natural siphon bringing fresh oxygen to the root zone. Soeffective it has become a favorite among many hydroponic

gardeners.

eroponics

First developed during WWII to feed soldiers in areas of the worldwhere the soil will not permit cultivation, aeroponics has come a lonway over the years. Simply put it is the spraying of nutrient enriche

water in a contained, non translucent area for a plants root zone. Thpart of the plant that would be in the ground is contained andsprayed, rest of the plant, normally above grade would be on top or

otherwise out of the container. Effective in all areas of growthdevelopment and bloom this application is most popular inpropagation.

Nutrient Film Technique

This method using a pump it delivers a steady run of nutrientenriched water to run down the slop continuously feeding the plantNFT has fallen in favor with many gardeners and equipment

manufactures for preference to some above mentioned applicationsNFT is still a viable and effective method to cultivate hydroponicall

Drip System

This is commonly used in hydroponics using rock wool as themedium. Feed water is pumped via tube to the plant site to feed the

plant. This versatile method can be applied to soil grown plant too.In many cases drip systems are drain to waste but can easily

recirculate when drains are incorporated.
