Five Easy Ways to Increase the Uptake of Your Foliar Spray



Using a foliar spray to increase the number of nutrients that your plants receive is a powerful, proven way to enjoy healthier plants. Yet at the same time, many hydroponic gardeners have probably heard of instances where someone used a foliar spray but only experienced very little benefit. Most of these cases are not the fault of the ingredients in the spray itself, but rather how they are applied. If you do not carefully consider every aspect of the proper application of the foliar fertilizer, you probably will not enjoy as big a return on your investment as you were hoping. Fortunately, careful application does not have to involve a lot of time or effort. Through a few small tweaks, you can easily make the most of your foliar spray feeding. Subscribe to read the best hydroponics newsletter on the web.

Our Hydroponic Greenhouse - hydroponics system

This video is our greenhouse. My husband built it. It grows our greens hydroponically. We have collards, Swiss chard, arugula, dandelion, watercress, lettuces, and romaine.







Hydroponics Vertical Garden

DIY hydroponic garden. This is my vertical garden. Started with the idea of getting the most production out of a small space. By growing in the vertical styrofoam pots, you insulate the roots of the plant keeping them warm in winter and cool in the summer. By planting in coco coir, you have a completely nutreal media free of alkanlinity and PH; coco coir is necessary when using these vertical pots. Click to join the hydroponics revolution on the web.
