The premise is it uses no soil, and instead uses inert mediums such as rock wool, clay pebbles, sand, coconut hulls and others as the "soil" for the roots to grow in. There are also techniques that don't involve any mediums and the plant is held upright in a netted cup and the roots just grow in water. The water must be oxygenated and not allowed to go anaerobic. It requires buying special fertilizers that have all nutrients in a ionic or chelated form, ready to be taken up by the plants roots without the aid of microbial activity. There are microbial and fungal products on the market to put some biological activity in the water. That's my simple layman definition of the gist of how it works. | The premise is it uses no soil, and instead uses inert mediums such as rock wool, clay pebbles, sand, coconut hulls and others as the "soil" for the roots to grow in.
