Imagine being able to grow plants and/or crops everyday of the year in
smaller spaces without the use of any soil. Hydroponics is a soiless
agriculture that does just this. The idea for the use of plant growth without
any soil was developed in the eighteen hundreds. Hydroponic gardening is an
old idea yet new methods have been formed to give you three hydroponic
gardening options. These three options are defined by uses of different
mediums. Fifteen to twenty minutes of care per day can produce beautiful
plants and enough food to feed one family a day. Hydroponic environments
are indoors so weather changes do not effect them. All mediums use certain
solutions which vary with different types of mediums. Hydroponic
environments are easy to build and easy to take care of and the advantages
are great. This form of agriculture is one of man's simple yet helpful ideas
that can better the earth and it's people.
Hydroponics is a soiless agriculture that was originally used for
growing plants in the winter. Hydroponic agriculture is also known as soiless
agriculture, nutriculture, or chemical culture. Hydroponic plants can be
gardened in several different ways. Hydroponics uses different nutrient
solutions to ensure better plant life. Plants need nutrients and moisture to
survive and soil provides this. When hydroponic gardening is used these
necessities increase and the plant lives a fuller and more beautiful life.
As it was already mentioned, the advantages of hydroponic gardening
are great. It was also already mentioned that hydroponic gardening reduces
the amount of space used and can be grown all year long. But this is only the
beginning of the advantages of hydroponic gardening. People who have
hydroponic gardens don't have to put up with soil-borne pests and diseases
and they don't have to pull any weeds. Food crops grow and mature at a
much faster rate in non-soi...
