Earth is replaced by air and water. The nutrients are supplied to the plants in a targeted and correctly dosed manner. The roots take only the components that the plants need.
Hydroponic systems are mostly lightweight and can be flexibly designed or placed. Use in the basement, outdoors, indoors, in the garden or on the balcony is not a problem.
Compared to agricultural technology, hydroponics saves up to 80% of the water. The nutrient-water mixture circulates in a closed cycle.
Depending on the system type and the possibility of vertical construction, it is possible to achieve a significantly higher plant density/m². Usually one gives about 1m²/family for self-sufficiency.
The optimized nutrient enrichment results in accelerated growth. Salads can usually be harvested 3-4 weeks after germination.
With hydroponics, pesticides are not necessary. Superficial lice or fungal infestations are treated with a water solution of hydrogen peroxide, neem oil and organic dish soap.
Hydroponic nutrients offer the plants exactly these components that they also need in the respective phase. There are no undesirable foreign substances, acidification of the soil or an incorrect composition of the nutrients in the soil.
Basically all plants can also be grown hydroponically. With aeroponics or an ebb and flow tank, even root vegetables are no problem.
Thanks to the hydroponic design and the single-user philosophy, weeding is a thing of the past. The plants are held by fire balls, foam, pool noodles, netcups or other materials.
The basic systems are divided into DWC (deep water system), NFT (nutrient film technology), wick system, ebb and flow system, drip system and aeroponics. Depending on the type of plant, different systems are more or less suitable. These systems can also be used in aquaponics.
In hydroponics, there are a number of factors that go into being successful. The PH value is monitored and regulated if necessary. Usually the value here is PH5.5-6.5. The nutrients are composed of NPK, secondary nutrients and micronutrients.
It is also possible to do without soil for germination and offspring. With household utensils, you can achieve a high germination rate with little effort. With paper towels, Tupperware, freezer bags or Petri dishes, new offspring can be managed in the smallest of spaces.
Custom designed hydroponic systems for maximum utilization of available space. Competent advice on the possibilities and configuration. Product design, custom-made products and mass production for retailer.
In addition to student training for the Chamber of Crafts (HWK) in mechatronics and mechanics, workshops and lectures in China on hydroponics and "soilless farming" are also planned from 2023.
