Introduction
Pioneered in cuba, organoponics is the replacement of water or other growing medium and fertilizer in hydroponics with an organic compost growing medium – which retains moisture and has abundant nutrients. Organoponics have yields similar to hydroponics – but are more pest resistant and more diversity can be grown. Basically, it’s growing plants in compost – or the ecological evolution of pure hydroponics.
So this is hydroponics using compost tea as the growth medium? I can't ffind any information about it elsewhere on the Web --Conor 12:42, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
