Using a fogger or a Micro Bubbler/bubbler in the Kratky method would probably be the best over all. Growth, Cost, Simplicity.
re-do?
What if you used a smaller netpot to same room, Instead of clay pebbles to fill in the cracks and space?
High Pressure Aeroponics is the only true Aeroponics.
Have you ever record how much water consume till harvest using kratky method on lettuce and pak choy?
Because i want to start one and information from you really do help me on decide which container to use.
Thanks
Nice comparison. It would also be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of two Aeroponic systems – one using an ultrasonic fogger/dry fog, and one using a nozzle/high-pressure pump, to assess whether droplet size affects yield etc.
