Ebb and Flow Systems
Ebb and flow systems are a type of irrigation setup used mainly for watering plants sustainably. They work by periodically flooding a grow tray with nutrient-rich water and then draining it away. This cycle mimics natural flooding and drying conditions, encouraging healthy plant growth while conserving water. The system uses a timer and a pump to control the flooding and draining process, providing consistent moisture levels without overwatering. It's commonly used in hydroponics and gardening to create an efficient, automated environment that promotes healthy roots and optimal nutrient uptake.
