Aeroponics #6 - some average statistics and advantages

Aeroponics basic advantages

1. fast growth
2. larger, and greater number of harvests when dealing with fruit bearing plants, or vegetables. ( some tomato varieties have been knows to have more that twice the normal amount of harvests )
3. less water and nutrient costs ( because 90% less water, 60% less nutrients are needed to grow)
4. more environmental control ( due to small size system, can be placed anywhere to control temperature, and available sunlight. water, nutrient, and air consumption can also be controled by changing how much is added/allowed in to the unit )
5. more unit mobility ( unit can be transported to alternate location with ease as it is very small)
6. plant has higher chance of adapting to soil when transplanted
