I visited Disney World attraction "Living with the Land" in their Apcot park. They show a lot of new techniques to grow various plants.
They mentioned that they often grow vegetables without any soil.
Whole plant with it’s roots is hanging in the air and they are just sprinkling it’s roots with nutrients.
Which vegetables can be grown this way? Don’t roots get too dry? What nutrients should be sprinkled in order for a plant to grow?
Is it possible to do this at home on a patio?
Unfortunately it was too late in the evening to go on Disney’s walking tour this day.
