Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Roots hang directly in an oxygenated nutrient reservoir — one of the simplest, most reliable hydroponic methods.
An air pump keeps the reservoir oxygenated so roots submerged in the nutrient solution stay healthy, making DWC a low-complexity entry point into hydroponic growing.
