Why choose Dripper systems?
Drip systems are the most widely used Hydroponic systems in the world. They are commonly used in commercial facilities for growing long term crops like tomatoes and peppers. Drip systems provide plenty of aeration (more than ebb and flow) because plant roots are never totally submerged, but are never allowed to dry out. Drip systems operate very simply. A pump has tubing connected to it which then branches off to smaller tubes feeding many plants. Nutrient solution is dripped onto the base of each plant where it then trickles down through the grow media (inert or soil based) and into the roots and finally drains into the reservoir where it is re-used, unless ‘Run to waste’ is employed ( dosing a precise amount of nutrient which does not re-circulate). This growing technique is generally favored by gardeners that wish to grow small to large sized plants, while providing a precise and controlled feeding program.
