Claims27
A plant growing system comprising:
- a first set of inherently-rigid elongated members extending outwardly from a support member, the elongated members having a fixed end attached to the support member and a free end;
- and
- a corresponding second set of inherently-rigid elongated members extending outwardly from a second support member, each of the elongated members of the second set having a fixed end attached to the second support member and a free end, the second set for overlapping and frictional interconnection with the first set, the first and second sets of elongated members for supporting a growing plant wherein the spacing between interconnected elongated members allows passage of a nutrient solution around interconnected elongated members and growth of the root system of the growing plant between and directly against the elongated members without soil.
