I get high and think alot, so if this is a fuckin stupid idea, just throw it out there lol..
Anyway, if you put half of the plants roots in a soil that gets feed and the other half of the roots get an area that gets water, would this benefit the plant or hinder the plant? What I mean is....
|••••Water••••••|
|•••••layer•••••••|
|○Rock Layer○|
|••••••Feed••••••|
|••••••Layer•••••|
------------------------
The feed layer would have a tube coming straight down and wrapped once around the area to feed the bottom. Obviously some water would trickle down helping keep things flushed a bit..
We all know if you dont water slowly, you are really only watering the top of the pot. We could utilize this to keep water going to the top layer horizontal roots with no feed pretty easily.
Would the plant know to take what it needed instead of being forced to take what is there? Or does it indiscriminately absorber everything around it?
With the 2 areas being able to be watered independently we could do easily train our roots to spread over both halves of the container.
