Abstract
This invention offers advantages and alternatives over the prior art by providing a portable hydroponic garden apparatus. The apparatus generally includes a frame and a reservoir for holding nutrient solution. One or more receptacles are disposed across the reservoir above the nutrient solution and are designed to hold plants. A solution distribution assembly is provided for delivering the nutrient solution from the reservoir to the one or more receptacles so that the nutrient solution is discharged over a surface of the one or more receptacles and the nutrient solution is fed to the plants. The one or more receptacle have drainage means so that the nutrient solution drains back into the reservoir. Thus, the nutrient solution is constantly circulated throughout the apparatus and more importantly the nutrient is aerated in the process. Aeration of the nutrient solution leads to better plant growth because the level of air within the nutrient solution is optimized.
