<div>We are going to learn how to build an Aerospring aeroponics system with items found at your local hardware store. This type of system is a great starting point for anyone looking to get into hydroponics as it has no real moving parts, is cheap, and lends itself to producing outstanding results. Plus it's fun and easy to build yourself.</div>

<div>This is a front-to-back tutorial that will help someone completely new to hydroponics build a compact aeroponics system for the purpose of growing small plants such as lettuce, spinach, basil (or any herbs) etc. we are going to teach you how to build your own aeroponics system, pH correct your water, and then add nutrients to your system. We will also cover how to properly aerate the water so that the roots get the right mix of food, water, and oxygen that they need to thrive.</div>

<div>This workshop can also be an add-on to convert an existing DWC system into an aeroponic system. If you came to the workshop last week and you wish to do the conversion then just bring your DWC setup!</div>
