Soiless growing system

A swamp growing system for all seeds and plants comprising:

• a plurality of plant support riser pipes vertically disposed in a swamp with the upper ends of the pipes extending above the water level of the swamp,
• a growing medium means in said pipes extending from below the water level to above the water level,
• said growing medium means having a water table with a saturation capillary fringe and a root zone thereabove, said growing medium means having large and small pores with enough pores of large enough size to limit the saturation capillary fringe from said water table to a small fraction of the height of the growing medium and enough pores of small enough size to hold sufficient moisture in said root zone to provide abundant water for seed and plant growth, air means in communication with the growing medium means to provide for continuous entry of oxygen and an escape of carbon dioxide to provide abundant oxygen for seed and plant growth, and
• said riser plant support pipes are corrugated with annularly extending air passageways spaced along the length thereof and being in communication with the atmosphere to thereby provide air to said growing medium means through said perforated tube.

A soiless growing system for all seeds and plants comprising:

• an elongated water pipe horizontally disposed and continuously containing water, said pipe including a series of openings along its top side,
• a plant support riser pipe positioned in each opening,
• a growing medium means provided in each plant support riser pipe and extending into the water in the water pipe,
• said growing medium means having a water table with a saturation capillary fringe and a root zone thereabove, said growing medium means having large and small pores with enough pores of large enough size to limit the saturation capillary fringe from said water table to a small fraction of the height of the growing medium and enough pores of small enough size to hold sufficient moisture in said root zone to provide abundant water for seed and plant growth, air means in communication with the growing medium means to provide for continuous entry of oxygen and an escape of carbon dioxide to provide abundant oxygen for seed and plant growth, and
• said riser plant support pipes are corrugaged with annularly extending air passageways spaced along the length thereof and being in communication with the atmosphere to thereby provide air to said growing medium means through said perforated tube.
