Hydroponics Info
Essential gardening for the future of our environment
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the science of gardening without soil.
In hydroponic gardening systems, plants are placed
in a growing medium and nutrients are provided
directly to the roots. The word Hydroponic comes
from Latin and means "working water". Simply put, it is
the art of growing plants without soil.
If you were to grow two genetically identical plants
side by side, one grown in soil and one grown
hydroponically, you would immediately see the
difference. Faster, better growth and much greater
yields are some of the many reasons that hydroponics
is being adopted worldwide for commercial food
production as well as a growing number of home and
hobby gardeners.
