I have grown plants in traditional soil gardens, plastic pots, fabric pots, upside down pots, raised beds, eb and flow, just about everything you can imagine. After trying the flood and drain system I haven't experimented with any new ideas. Maybe because I have run out, but also because I have never had results like this before. One of the key aspects to flood and drain feeding systems is gravitropic aeration. What happens in quite simple, water feeds into the green pots froma a large reservoir, and then 15 minutes later is pumped back into the res. when you pump the water out that creates gravatropic aeration. Which is basically air being forced into the roots by the water getting sucked out. This is huge. It's like giving a plant steroids, they only require 4 things to gown, light, air, water, and nutrients. If you can raise all of your intakes at the right times in the right fashion you can pull serious yields from a system like this. Plus it feeds for you, which makes life much easier.
