What is Hydroponics ?
Hydroponics means growing plants in water without soil. Plants don’t need soil but they do need vitamins and minerals that soil can provide for them.
In hydroponics, plants are grown in an inert medium or NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) grow pipes, where they are fed a solution containing a perfected mix of primary, secondary and micro-nutrients.
Almost any kind of plant can be grown hydroponically, including veggies, herbs, fruits and flowers, even trees in the right setup.
Hydroponics provides an advantage over soil growing for many reasons.
The roots do not need to reach for nutrients and don’t have to waste time growing extensive root systems, the plants can be grown closer together. Nutrients are always readily available to plants, allowing for a growth rate up to 30-50% faster than plants growing in soil.
Without the need for tilling, weeding and pest control, labor is severely decreased while yields increase. Water usage is also a big reason hydroponics becoming more and more popular - because it significantly conserves water over the usual growing methods.
