Deep Water Culture (DWC) is a type of hydroponic system where plants grow in a nutrient-rich water solution. In this method, the roots of the plants are submerged in the water, allowing them to absorb nutrients directly. This setup typically includes an air pump that provides oxygen to the roots, promoting healthy growth. DWC systems are popular for growing various crops, including lettuce, herbs, and tomatoes. They are relatively easy to set up and maintain, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced growers. The efficient use of water and nutrients can lead to faster plant growth compared to traditional soil gardening.
