How do I grow hydroponic herbs?
For growing water herbs, countless systems and methods are used and most can be easily done at home. The first step in growing hydroponic herbs is the selection of seedlings and exploring the growth time and requirements for various herbs. There are a number of nutrients for water that can be purchased to ensure health of herbs. The simplest two methods are the wick and outflow system and flow. These two systems are less high-tech than others and can be purchased as sets or complete units.
The wick system is the simplest hydroponic system that is built using a plastic container as a water tank, a vegetable tray with a coconut fiber, an air stone connected to the air pump and two long springs of the candle. At the bottom of the tank connected to the air pump on the outside of the system lies at the bottom of the tank connected to the air pump and two wicks travel from the plant tank to the reservoir. The wicks serve as a transport facility for nutrients from the vury to the roots of herbs. The wick system is not built on supportFor larger plants, it works efficiently in growing water herbs.
EBB and the flow system is a flood and runoff method and requires two plastic containers and an underwater pump with a tube/overflow line that leads from the upper container to the pump in the lower container. The lower part is a water reservoir where the pump is located, and the upper part is a plant tray. Plant trays should be filled with gravel and selected herbs. The pump must be connected to the timer that allows the system to flood and discharge the tray of plants several times a day at different time intervals, depending on the type of herbs. This system is a low maintenance method for growing hydroponic herbs, because once the unit is assembled and the timer is set, the roots receive the required amount of nutrients, oxygen and water.
The advantages of growing hydrooponic herbs range from accelerated growth of plants to water protection. Hydroponic wereNky grow much faster than herbs in the soil due to excess oxygen and nutrients that the herbs receive. The water is recycled in the hydroponic system, unlike the amount of water lost during irrigation. In order to effectively grow hydroponic herbs, the gardener should choose a system that best suits their home, explore selected herbal requirements and buy nutrients that would add to the water. The local garden center is a good source of both wick systems and on the flow, as well as other different methods of growing hydroponic herbs.
