With traditional growing, outdoor planters need watering almost every day in hot weather. That's because plants use lots more water and at the same time the sun is literally "baking" the moisture out of the pot.
The problem is the soil. Potting soil can only hold a limited amount of water and can't stay wet for extended periods. Outdoor containers must have drainge because waterlogged soil will start attacking the plant's roots.
"Terraponic Gardening" replaces traditional potting soil with unique clay pebbles called?LECA?(Lightweight?Expanded?Clay?Aggregate).
LECA?pebbles are a man made ceramic that never rots, decays, or decomposes. Perfect for outdoor growing!
Because there's no worry about mold or decay with?LECA?pebbles, terraponic growing incorporates a reservoir at the bottom of the container that stores water for the plants that can be used as needed.
LECA?pebbles also have capillary properties. That means they can "wick" moisture (and nutrients) up to the plants from the reservoir at the bottom of the pot.?
With terraponic growing extra water is available to the plants. No more daily watering and there's no worry about mold or decay that you would get with soil.

How the Terraponic System Works
Caring for plants in your?Terraponic System?is as easy as?1.?2.?3.
1.?Pour nutrient solution into the planter at the top.?Nutrient solution passes through pebbles to the reservoir at the bottom.
2.?LECA?pebbles "wick" the nutrient solution up to the plant as needed.?

3.?Refill the reservoir when the water gauge reads empty.
It's that easy!
Plants quickly adapt to the superb growing conditions of the LECA pebbles and in a short time they actually grow new water roots that reach out into the clay pebbles.?
With Terraponics your plants practically take care of themselves - no more "everyday watering" necessary!
Contact us to learn more about how YOU can invest in terraponics or purchase terraponics to ensure:
* Food 365 days a year -- no mater the weather
* No need to import or export produce - it will be local all year long ??
* No import/export will eliminate pollution, thereby saving the planet
DID YOU KNOW - Air pollution from traffic congestion in 83 of the nation's largest urban areas contributes to more than 2,200 premature deaths annually, costing the health system?at least $18 billion, according to a study by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers
* You will be eating 100% certifiable organic food - unlike hydroponic food.
