Hydroponics is based on growing agricultural plants without the use of soil. These are methods of growing plants either on a substrate or in an aqueous medium with bare roots. Non-circulating hydroponic methods, importantly, do not require electricity or a pump. With the method presented in this practice, the entire crop can be grown with only an initial application of water and nutrients. No additional water or fertilizer is needed. The crop is normally terminated when most of the nutrient solution is consumed. This document provides two detailed step-by-step descriptions of simple, non-circulating hydroponic growing kits. These kits are for growing vegetables at a small scale, one for short-term vegetables (e.g. lettuce or kai choy) and the other for long-term vegetables (e.g. cucumber or tomato).
