Nursery level and water tank 

 

The nursery level and the water tank together form the base for Plantsteps and are the heart of the entire system. You can attach up to 6 Plantsteps directly to Nursery level. 

On top of the Nurcery level you can root cuttings and small plants or grow large plants. It can be used with a number of hydroculture and hydroponic techniques; NFT, Flood & drain, Ebb & Flow, DWC and drip irrigation, even in combination, and at the same time.

Every gardener should choose a suitable methodology for their own use, depending on the plants; type, size, enviroment and growth of cycle.

Water pump


The water pump circulates the water on the system and make sure that the roots of the plants receive water and nutrients, and at the same time it aireate water. The water pump may be controlled by a timer or it can be left on continuously.
