 ===== Description ===== ===== Description =====
-What is the project about?  What will it do?+We are group of people who want to learn and experiment with aeroponics - growing plants without dirt.  Aeroponics is different than Hydroponics in that the plant roots don't sit in water or get flushed with water.  Aeroponics uses a spray mister or ultrasonic mister to transfer water and nutrients to the plant root system.
