💡 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.
