Airponics Bay

The Airponics Bay is an area for the cultivation of plants without soil, by suspending them in an oxygen-rich environment and misting their roots with nutrient solution. It was an excellent way for a crew to grow fresh produce for consumption. Often, airponics is shared with the Hydroponics Bay or comprises part of a ship/station's Arboretum. As such, they are typically maintained by the Science Department, although civilians are also welcome to take part.
