In soil, they're not bathed in water.

And of course, you have to oxygenate that water with one of these air stones, kind of pumping the dissolved oxygen level up.

So why don't we just separate the water from the system?

Imagine that same five-gallon bucket.

And we'll actually bring in sprayers that will spray or mist in like a nebulized sort of level, like very small droplets of nutrient rich water.

And we just will, they'll mostly be sitting in air most of the time.

So it's not that there's not water use.

It's just that the roots aren't sitting in water.

And I don't know off the top of my head, like, is that more efficient than hydroponics or not?

I think most people would just do the roots, but then there's this whole concept of like what's called foliar feeding or feeding the leaves, where some things are uptaken by the leaves and used in certain ways.

But of course the roots are like the most common way that things are being uptaken.

A hundred percent.

Yeah.

I mean, the zucchini method I was using was just in soil, like with a little, with a little steak growing it up, but you're totally right.

Like some of the, so instead of like, imagine you have your soil like this, that's one horizontal.

Yeah.

It's just one plane that you can grow on.

And of course, when you're out in the Midwest farming soy, that's fine.

Like you can just do that forever.

But in, you know, in Manhattan or in Brooklyn, if you're trying to grow
