Hello,
I have been testing a small NFT setup for a couple of months now and I want to start a greenhouse (8m x 30m) and I would like to know if it is possible to use shallow beds with foam boards instead of channels/pipes
I am thinking of putting 4 beds with 1.2m width in the greenhouse and the depth would be 5cm to 10 cm with shallow water running down the bed and back to the reservoir
I am planning on planting lettuce and sage.
I was originally going for the
aeroponics but I will have a lot of mist sprinklers along the beds which should require a lot of maintenance.
I think Deep Water Culture will be the most expensive because the amount of water that will be used (It will require a lot of
nutrients and will be harder to control).
What do you think?
