💡 How the Kratky Method Works
The Kratky Method is a passive hydroponic system that suspends plant roots above a nutrient solution. As the plant grows and uses water, an air gap forms, allowing roots to breathe, no electricity or aeration needed.
-
🪣 Use jars, totes, or buckets
-
🌱 Place seedlings in net cups or foam plugs
-
💧 Fill container with water + liquid nutrients
-
🚫 No need to refill or aerate during the growth cycle
This method is great for urban gardening, off-grid growing, or experimenting with no-soil indoor food production.
