摘要：
A stand for hydroponic growing has multiple tiered horizontal shelves supported by curved arms with the arms attached to a base that includes a tank with a pump. The shelves are hollow, shallow troughs with a cover. The covers have openings to accommodate planting baskets and liquid nutrients are pumped from the tank to and through the shelves. In some versions the shelves are tilted to reduce the incident of a growing plant interfering with or being interfered with by the shelf above it. Also it causes the plants to hang down in a predetermined direction making it easier to provide a trellis or other plant matter directional control. In some versions the growing baskets have a tab that interacts with a slot in the shelf cover to help secure the growing basket to the shelf.
