Aeroponics

Aeroponics
Aeroponics systems use mist to spray water-soluble nutrients directly onto plants roots.

This aeroponics project will work on a PVC pipe design similar to http://www.ki7xh.com/lettuces.jpg

Design

 * 400mm PVC pipe foundation for the plants
 * plants sit in net pots drilled on top of pipe
 * misting outlets running through length of pipe directed at root structures
 * pump system controlled by microcontroller (arduino or whatevs)
 * pH and EC sensing to alert on nutrient status
