Do You Know What These Are?

Clay pebbles or hydroton (sometimes referred to as LECA- light expanded clay aggregate) are a hydroponic substrate with units about the size of marbles or peanuts.

In other words, we use them in the trays for the plants to grow in.

Systems

You’ve got choices!

Through the development process UrbanPonics has built several unique units that allow our growers to choose a unit that is appropriate for their use.

There are also components for units available on the market that work well for larger scale production.

The First Prototype

Well, the Mastermind gathered up all the bits and pieces to create this trial run. There was more lettuce and hot peppers than you can imagine! There was tomatoes and green beans as well. Next move is to add the fish.

Small Unit

In your home or office this size is manageable.
