ABSTRACT:
A hydroponic method and system for growing plants is disclosed wherein an inner container of a fibrous material contains particulate growing medium and a plant whose roots grow through the bottom and sidewall of the container and an outer supporting member of a root impervious material surrounding the inner container sidewall and having an upper portion thereof bearing inward against the upper portion of the inner container sidewall whereby the firm support of the inner container results from the combination of gripping at least a portion of the upper region of the container by the support member and the engagement of the laterally growing roots with the inner surface of the support member.
