Hydroponic growing system

摘要

A hydroponic growing system that comprises a plurality of parallel horizontal pipes, a vertical drain pipe, and a plurality of nutrient-delivering tubes. The horizontal pipes are adapted to support crops that receive nutrients from the nutrient-delivering tubes and grow in high density. The horizontal pipes have opposite first and second ends, as well as a plurality of openings along a length, and a plurality of pipe segments extending angularly from an outer surface. The vertical drain pipe has a plurality of angular pipe extensions along a length, which mate with one of the first and second ends of the horizontal pipes. The nutrient-delivering tubes have openings along a length and extend from the vertical drain pipe, branching through the pipe segments extending from the horizontal pipes.

1. A hydroponic growing system comprising:
a plurality of parallel horizontal pipes each having opposite first and second ends and a plurality of openings along a length between said first and second ends through which crops grow; a plurality of pipe segments extending from an outer surface of the plurality of parallel horizontal pipes on a side opposite the plurality of openings; a vertical drain pipe having a plurality of pipe extensions along a length thereof, said pipe extensions mating with one of said first and second ends of said plurality of parallel horizontal pipes; and a plurality of nutrient-delivering tubes having openings along a length thereof, said nutrient delivering tubes extending from a source of nutrient-enriched water and branching through said plurality of pipe segments in a parallel arrangement so as to supply the nutrient-enriched water to each of said plurality of pipe segments individually, wherein each of said horizontal pipes is adapted to support crops that receive said nutrient-enriched water from said nutrient-delivering tubes, thereby producing crops in high density.
