I am writing this article for people who are very lazy and those who are very smart and do not like to play around with dirty.
So today I would like to talk about passive hydroponics,
what is it?
I know you want me to get straight into it so lets go
Passive hydroponics is a simple method of growing vegetables and other crops in non circulating oxygenated water.
Its obvious that someone is asking this question, “how?”
Stay put! What you need to understand is plants need oxygen, nutrients , carbon dioxide and nutrients to survive
So how can oxygen be present in non circulating water?
Naturally water is made up of oxygen therefore, the plants can still grow with the natural oxygen within the water but for the best growth you might need an air stone and also you can add hydrogen peroxide to allow more oxygen for your plants.
From the experience that I have, here is a list of herbs that easily grow in water without any problems
- Mint
- green onions
- Chives
- leeks
- garlic leeks
- oregano
- sweet rocket
- Basil
- lemon grass
- rosemary
- Thyme
the list is endless but you can start with these ones
The most important thing is to do your best agronomy practices so that the roots won’t rot
