How to build an Aeroponic system

guide

This system is a little bit tougher to build but a pretty cool and popular aeroponic system. This system is very successful in growing lots of different types of plants. Because it is an Aeroponic system the root system will be incredibly healthy and vigorous. Since the roots are suspended above the nutrient solution, if the pump should fail the roots will always have moisture and access to nutrient, making this a pretty fail proof system. There are lots of different plans available but this one has been designed for an easier build although it is not expandable.

The material for this system is easy to find. The pump recommended in this plan is the most affordable and was chosen because it has suction cup feet to hold the manifold in place and a 1/2” threaded female outlet. If a pump is used that cannot support the manifold in this way then you will have to use another method. A system timer can be used to run the pump in 10 minute intervals to cut electricity usage in half.
