Abstract
A hydroponics apparatus for growing plants. The apparatus includes a frame attached to a base; the frame includes a frame member having an angled portion at an angle with respect to the base. A plurality of substantially parallel tubes are attached to the angled portion of the frame member, so that the tubes are terraced with respect to each other. Connectors connect the tubes at the ends thereof, thereby forming a single serpentine path for fluid flow. A reservoir is connected to an end of the lowermost tube, for collecting fluid flowing from the tubes. A pump is provided for pumping the fluid into the tubes. In various embodiments, the angled portion of the frame member is at an angle of approximately 45° elevation with respect to the base, and the tubes have netpots for holding the plants.
