Abstract:
Procedure for hydroponic culture, characterized by hanging, from a pair of slanting parallel supports, a multiple channel unit comprising superimposed sheets having different widths, which form dihedrons having different angles but with a common mouth, an upper sheet being provided, along its median line, with a plurality of evenly distributed holes, which correspond to a spacing foreseen for plants to be grown, at lest one intermediate sheet being provided with a number of holes identical to that of the upper sheet although longitudinally offset in a staggered manner, which are oriented in the same direction as the slanting of the overall multiple channel unit, and a lower sheet being devoid of holes, in order to establish, along said channel unit, multiple cascading paths for fertilizer liquid as well as a staggered path for plant roots through the different sheets, such that the sheets furthermore constitute the physical rooting support for the plants.
