We developed a new hydroponic system that did not require the use of electricity. In this system the irrigation of culture solution was achieved by gravity action, and the supply of nutrients for crops by capillary action. We were able to obtain high yields of tomato, sweet potato, melon and Chinese mustard using this system.
