Rockwool, sand, and gravel planting are also very widely used in urban and indoor farming. Sub irrigation and top irrigation systems are used in these types of culture. For hydroponics, plastic containers are usually made as reservoirs. But of you are not into plastics, there are also other reservoirs materials like glass, wood, concrete, metal, and vegetable solids.
