ABSTRACT:
A method for aeroponically growing plants which involves an elongate vertically oriented plant chamber having a plurality of plant receiving apertures through its side wall. Plants are stationed in the apertures with their roots extending into the bore of the plant chamber and nutrient solution is sprayed downwardly into the chamber to wet the plant roots. During the spraying of the plant roots atmospheric air is inducted into and stale air exhausted from the chamber. In preferred alternatives of the method the motive energy for the air induction is provided by the spraying step, the nutrient solution is sprayed as a mist and the spraying is undertaken cyclically.
