Ebb and Flow
‘Ebb-and-flow’ or to ‘flood and drain’ is a form of hydroponics that is known for its simplicity, reliability of operation and low initial costs and at the same it offers the advantages of hydroponics. Also called E&F, this is a system, which uses pots that are filled with inactive mediums that do not work like soil and contribute to the nourishment of the plants.
Instead the medium anchors the roots and supplies the plant for a certain amount of time with a reserve of water and mineral nutrients, since the hydroponic solution flows to and drains of the system in an alternating process.
