Aeroponics a method of growing in which oxygen is infused into the nutrient solution, uses rockwool, net pots, vine clips or other devices to support the plant while its roots grow in the air under a constant mist of nutrient solution. This allows the roots to absorb nutrients much faster and easily. Facilitating rapid growth and fantastic yields. This technique can be used for plants and vegetables including but not limited to strawberries, melons, and cucumbers.

An example of this system would be General Hydroponics Aero-Flo. This type of system is being searched most heavily by NASA. For more information on how to set up this system go to GeneralHydroponics instructional page
