Although fogponics has been around for a few years already, many gardeners remain unfamiliar with this method of growing. The name reminds me of a 1950's low-budget horror movie: "Fogponics...they came from the fog..."Fogponics is the latest advancement in aeroponics and is an effective way to grow whatever plants you choose inside what could rightfully be deemed a fog chamber.Inside this chamber is where the roots of the plants are suspended and exposed to the magic of the fog's hydration and nutrition.To give you an idea of what it looks like, a dark plastic crate with a sturdy lid is required. If you don't have a dark crate, you can always do what the Stones did and paint it black. The point is, you don't want light seeping in.This crate will serve as your growing chamber. Next, you'll need to cut out enough properly sized circles in the lid, which will hold the net cups your plants will be growing in. Six holes on top should do it. An additional hole is required to hold the small electric fogger.Electric foggers, or mist makers as they are also known, are available in single-node, three-node and five-node varieties, to my knowledge.Their job is to vibrate at 2 MHz (2 million times per second), transforming water and added nutrients into 100% humidity (fog), thus continually watering and feeding a plant's roots in a nutrient-rich cloud of mist.There isn't time to tell you how to completely build a fogponics chamber; my intent here is to merely introduce you to the concept and give you a mental picture. There are several instructional videos available online that discuss the subject of construction and the maintenance of the system.The results of growing this way are impressive, to say the least. When done correctly, you can expect greater yields while using less energy, and you will have a system that will make you the envy of traditional growers everywhere-even your hydro friends.
