If you've ever placed a plant clipping into a glass of water in the hopes that it will develop roots, you've practiced in a form of hydroponics. Hydroponics is a branch of agriculture where plants are grown without the use of soil. The nutrients that the plants normally derive from the soil are simply dissolved into water instead, and depending on the type of hydroponic system used, the plant's roots are suspended in, flooded with or misted with the nutrient solution so that the plant can derive the elements it needs for growth. | If you've ever placed a plant clipping into a glass of water in the hopes that it will develop roots, you've practiced in a form of hydroponics.

1. Measure the middle of your wood lid and mark it. | |||
Use a compass to mark the Netpot that sits in the middle of your lid. Now it depends on the space you have on your lid, if there is space for more than one Netpot like in my case, add the diameter of your netpots plus 1cm (9cm) and mark a point 9cm next to the middle. | |||
