This is my first post, but I have been reading this forum for months. I have built my own little pseudo low pressure aero system out of a 132 gph pump. It only mists one plant. But I sit at work all day and watch diamond slurry being sprayed onto machines in very very fine droplet size. It is powered by an air compressor. So I have an idea, why not build a 6 stage endless garden where each stage wouldnt have to have it's own pump, just it's own resevoir. And every stage is hooked up to a single pressurized tank, that is filled by the compressor. Any thoughts?

Can you just blast water with compressed air and get a usable mist? Im sure it would be better than my soakaponics diy I have now with sprinkler heads...

You can use an air compressor for aeroponics, this is how the atomix system worked, and ort worked very well. You need air atomisation nozzles, compressor n chamber
Hello,
I considered this too. But I was thinking of pressurizing the reservoir with an air compressor at about 120 psi and using a solenoid to release the nutes in short bursts.
