Hey guys,
I'm thinking about giving this a shot, read it in a book, seems like it should work. Basically fill the net pot half full of expanded clay / lava rock, then fill the upper half with rockwoll / coconut coir or a mixture of the above. Then in the res you either do ebb / flow, or aeroponics with plain un-nuted water. All nutes are applied to the top portion of the pot. The book says that the first half of the plants roots are thin like spider webs, made to absorb nutrients, and that the bottom roots are long like spaghetti to soak up water. Seems alright, the only prob is if you over feed the top and it leaches into your res below it would need changed.
Any thoughts?
