摘要:
Plants are grown on volume of inert grow medium (i.e. media) 2 (see Figure 1), contained in container 6, the containers are stacked upon one another, creating a tower, when water in the media reaches a certain level a bell syphon 7 situated in each reservoir, drains the water to the next lower reservoir; as the water is drained it draws air. The water absorbs contaminates from the air, in particular nitrogen oxides. The nitrogen oxide is converted to nitrate and in-turn absorbed into the plant through the roots. The lowest reservoir contains a volume of water. The water is pumped to the top reservoir. This process is repeated down the levels of the tower of containers.
