[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 692321, member: 6980"] Note the key word "aeroponics". If set up correctly, you could use a aeroponics root misting system instead of an ebb and flow. By using root misting, you could grow heads of lettuce on the top, bottom, and sides of the system. How many heads of lettuce could you stack in a 1 cubic foot box? I figure you could get at least 18 or so in a cubic foot. If you can stack them in a cubic foot, you can grow them. The key would be root misting. With ebb & flow, everything would have to grow on top. It's do-able. All it takes is some pvc pipe, misters, a timer, and a pump. To max it out, you would need supplemental lighting. LED's are getting big in this. High light output, low energy input cost, low heat producing properties. [/QUOTE]
