Understanding the Kratky Method

Get Started

Step 1

The Kratky Method simplifies hydroponic gardening by allowing plants to grow in a nutrient-rich water solution without soil.

Step 2

Begin by placing plants in a container with a nutrient solution. As the plants consume the nutrients, the water level decreases, creating an air gap for root oxygenation.

Step 3

This passive system requires no pumps or electricity, making it an efficient and sustainable way to grow healthy plants.
