ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus which increases the available volume for a nutritive solution contained in a hydroponic receptacle.
Hollow shells are placed on the bottom of the receptacle reaching a level just above the maximum level of the nutritive solution, the hollow shells being then covered with a layer of substratum. The hollow shells are made of a material without capillarity for preventing the evaporation of the nutritive solution, the shells being, for instance, cylindrically shaped, thin-walled and having openings at each end thereof.
Due to the low rate of evaporation, several days or even weeks can go by before the refilling; it is possible to install hydroponic receptacles outdoors.
