The Kratky Method (Passive)
Discover the Kratky Method with MD — simple, accessible, and hassle-free hydroponics
The Kratky method is a passive hydroponic growing technique, ideal for starting urban agriculture without a pump, electricity, or complicated maintenance. It's an efficient and cost-effective approach that allows you to grow edible plants right at home, in a Mason jar or any other suitable container.
Absolute simplicity
No pump, electricity, or water circulation system required. Install, plant, observe.
Economical and accessible
Perfect for small spaces, balconies, or even windowsills—at no extra cost.
Minimal maintenance
Nutrients can be added during cultivation to prolong plant growth. Monthly cleaning of the container is recommended to maintain a healthy environment.
Let nature take its course
As the plant grows, it absorbs the solution. The level naturally drops, creating an air space that oxygenates the roots—without intervention.
