How Does it Work? This is a very simple system to use and at the heart of the EasyGreen is to be found some of the most advanced hydroponic technology available today. It is made up of rectangular box which at the front is where the plants are grown and to the rear is a reservoir.

With the EasyGreen you have a good selection of growing trays to choose from allowing you to tailor the growing chamber to meet your particular needs. So in effective you have the ability to mix and match what plants will be grown within it. If you are intending to grow wheatgrass, sunflower sprouts or baby salads then you should use the large trays.

Simplicity Means Success. At its heart the EasyGreen watering system has a special pump that generates an ultra fine mist made from oxygenated water. This provides the most advanced and optimised growing environment for your plants. The seeds will be watered evenly so you don't need to pre-soak them and they grow much more quickly. Plus the mist created provides oxygen that the delicate young crops roots need. This generator gives you control completely over the ventilated growing chamber as with each watering it is purged with clean and filtered air. One other advantage to using this system is that there are no watering jets or dripper nozzles that can become blocked over time with use.
The water source you use is up to and whether you choose to add nutrients like Kelp solution to the reservoir for enhancing the crops vitality at harvest time is also your decision. You have the ability to fine tune when watering occurs at 15 minute intervals throughout the day or night. After lying the seeds in the trays fill up the reservoir set the watering times and then forget about it. This is certainly an advantage to those whose lives are extremely busy. Remember to keep topping up the reservoir and harvest the plants when they are at the right stage of development to get the maximum flavour and nutrients from them.
