Hey! I'm Josh, a Highschool Sophomore. I was asked to come up with a project to work on towards the end of the school year, and came up with this:

Is it possible for an average Joe to grow plants twice as fast in his or her kitchen? Is it possible to grow a variety of plants without spending too much money?

I came up with an idea for people that wanted to urbanly grow plants for their kitchen, whether it be plants for eating, or just some nice-looking flowers. 

What if I was able to grow plants out of a planter box using Fogponics? I heard that it could grow plants faster, and that it uses less water than soil and hydroponics.


I decided to research fogponics more, and ended up making my own design on a Google drawing doc:

After that, I bought a 15 quart tub with a lid at Bed Bath & Beyond,  a generic fog machine on Amazon, Alaska Fish Fertilizer at Home Depot, and some 3" net cups.

I imagine that some people reading this blog might not know what Fogponics is. Fogponics is a way of growing plants; you can put plants in a tub full of fog, and the roots of the plants will absorb nutrients out of the fog, causing less water to be used and also causing the plants to grow faster. In this blog, I will give you guys updates on how my project is doing, and how to make a fogponics box of your own.
