Abstract
Controlled artificial system, portable or standing (underground, surface, or hanging) to cultivate vegetable in a solid granular medium with self-controlled and adjustable unsaturation. It is claimed the development of a simple or automatic system where vegetables of any size are grown artificially in a closed solid-liquid phase with a constant water and air supply to the roots in appropriate physicochemical conditions to plants. The system consists of an upper solid medium compartment (1) for root growing and support, a lower water reservoir (8), and a continuous capillary interface between the two compartments by a flexible capillary device (Flexicar) preventing saturated conditions to the system. The solid medium compartment is closed in the top by a layer of coarse particles preventing capillary rise, forcing the water to leave the system mainly by evapotranspiration of the plant. Optional devices for water recharge (7) and draining of leachate are suggested to increase efficiency and handling. Outdoor modules allow collection of runoff, abundant or scarce, to be stored and used under low cost.
