Ebb and Flow (or ebb and flood) Garden.
Lets look at what this means, your plants are fed on automatic with a simple flood and drain watering system. Each time
water floods the rooot tray stale air is forced out so the plant roots are equally fed and bathed. When the water drains back
into the water reservoir, the fresh air is pulled in to the root tray. Your plants will go crazy with growth. This process happens
with a timer 6-10 times each day depending on your growing needs.

Nutrients are very important
Your nutrients are produced from natural mineral deposits. They will provide all the elements your plants require for very vigorous plant
growth in a soluble, easy to use form (liquid,powder). These are the same elements you would find in some of the best organic soils
avaliable. In short, your plants are being fed nutritious food for super nutritious product.
Ebb and Flow system will work great for smaller spaces.
Especially narrow, you only need around 12 inches wide by 25 inches long by
11 inches tall. Just the same this type of system works great just about anywhere you can hang a plant grow light. Do not forget your
windowbox and greenhouse as well.
You can buy complete systems with everything you need to get started including a small 5 gallon reservoir, grow tray, starter cubes, and
so on. You will also want a pH test kit or meter, submersible magnetic impellor pump, a quality 24-hour timer and a six month supply of food.
