Dear steemit friends,
This picture describes the hydroponic method with kratky system
This system I like very much because it does not use electricity for the water and air circulation pump so it does not cause noise that disturbs me and other family members, kratky system I have used to grow short-lived vegetables such as mustard greens and lettuce, I also apply it with chillies and the result is very good in my opinion because it successfully bear fruit bushy.
Kratky system is very simple and easy to do by anyone, the easiest hydroponic model in my opinion by using a bucket of paint or ice cream you can make this system please note the picture below so you can understand it and what is important you can directly practice it
The requirement of growing plants is the availability of sufficient sunlight and air, the kratky system can meet all the necessary elements of the plant to grow well and normal so you have to give empty space to the bucket or container you use do not fill all water
Keep the root position of the plant submerged in water only partly and others will hang empty room in a bucket or container so that plant roots can absorb the air so that water and air demand can be fulfilled by the plant.
Which needs to be considered in the hydroponic method of kratky system is the water should not be dry should be checked periodically and for the container used should be dark so that water is not exposed to sunlight is important to avoid the growth of moss that will interfere with plant roots in absorbing water.
