Hello guys I'm new to this forum but I wanted to spread the word on a project I'm currently working on. It is for a hydroponic system that requires no pumps in order to operate and uses sand as a grow medium. It is able to grow a variety of herbs, fruiting plants, and houseplants. Currently, I'm trying to raise funding that would allow this product to become a reality for anyone interested in hydroponics or growing in general. I want to create something that makes hydroponics more accessible to everybody. I have successfully used these planters for growing transplants, seeds, and propagated cuttings. You can check out what I'm working on at my website at simplyhydroponicplanter.
For those who don't know, sand-culture is a method of hydroponic production using sand as a growing medium. It's actually one of the oldest hydroponic production methods around. Sand has good water retention and aeration qualities, but is packed densely enough to support root systems. It's also cheap and readily available from a variety of sources. I use a passive wick-based system to provide nutrient solution to the growing medium. The method is passive and self-regulating, which is why the planters can operate without pumps. Check it out.
