 ===N.F.T. (Nutrient Film Technique)===
+This technique uses a planting bed that consists of a single row of plants (similar to a rain gutter). Nutrient solution is delivered to the end of a planting bed and this solution then flows through the bed and moistens the plant roots. The planting beds are usually mounted on a slant allowing the nutrient solution to easily drain out of the opposite end of the planting bed. Nutrient solutions are recovered and the pump runs all the time.

 ===Drip (recovery or non-recovery)===
-Individual plants in the planting bed have their own drip tube that provides water/nutrient solution. Unlike the systems above, most drip systems do not use a planting bed, but instead individual planting containers. nutrient solution is "dripped" using a pump and timer.
+Individual plants in the planting bed have their own drip tube that provides water/nutrient solution. Unlike the systems above, most drip systems do not use a single planting bed, but instead individual planting containers. Nutrient solution is "dripped" using a pump with timer and if the nutrient solution is collected and reused it is considered a "recovery" drip system.

 This system uses no pumps, but instead uses a "wicking" system to move water from a water reservoir to the plant bed containing the support material.
