In a method of simultaneous hydroponical growing of a number of plants (18), a drip irrigation pipe (14) having outlets (17) disposed along the length thereof is inserted between a pair of flatwise juxtaposed layers (4, 5) of water-impervious material of a growing device (10) alongside a first closed longitudinal edge (2) thereof. The growing device (10) including the supply pipe (14) is suspended with said first closed longitudinal edge (2) along a suspension means (15) placed at a substantially horizontal level. Roots (19) of plants (18) are inserted in between said two layers (4, 5) downstreams of said outlets (17) and with the stems (20) extending through throughcuts (11) in one of said two layers (4, 5). Nutrient solution is fed through said supply pipe (14) and outlets (17) and guided to the roots (19) of each plant (18) and is quickly percolated through said roots (19) and collected below the roots (19) for recirculation of discharge thereof. The growing device (10) is comprised by two flatwise juxtaposed layers (4, 5) of water-impervious material being intersealed along at least one longitudinal edge (20) thereof, said growing device (10) being suspended along said closed longitudinal edge (2) on a suspension means (15) placed at a substantially horizontal level. |
