What's the supposed advantage of aeroponics vs hydroponics vs dirt? I guess it's the Next Big Thing after hydroponics? I've done hydroponics. It has its place - mainly if you're tight for space in a windowless basement and can deal with the mold, or industrial sized operations. It's fun but it ain't green - too much plastic and energy use. My main objection to it is our lack of understanding of how roots interact with the environment they're in. There's increasing evidence that roots are highly dependent on soil fungus to perform optimally and any attempt to isolate them in a sterile environment is ultimately going to be a dead end. They aren't just a simple nutrient sponge. otoh, if it gets people growing stuff, go for it!
