Publisher's Summary

Do you know what hydroponic gardening is?

Do you want to know how start a hydroponic garden?

Hydroponics, derived from Latin geoponics, meaning agriculture research, and hydro, meaning water, is the science of plants growing using a solution of appropriate nutrients instead of soil. Many plant types can grow successfully using hydroponics.

In conventional gardening, plants are grown in soil and take their nutrition from the chemical compounds in that soil. Hydroponic gardener replaces soil with a healthy, nutrient-rich solution that the plant can easily absorb. It saves energy that can be used for stronger production since the plant won’t work hard to absorb the available nutrients.

Due to this this energy saving, plants grown with this hydroponic methods outperform plants produced in both growth and fruit production.

Because of consistent results and good profit margins, more and more commercial growers turn to hydroponic production. Fully organic production is possible with specially designed organic nutrients, offering great, cheap vegetables and herbs.

There are several different types of hydroponic system, but all follow the same basic principle of nutrient and water supplying plants. Most popular systems are: aquaculture, aquaculture, or nutrition.

This is a hydroponics device where plant roots are submerged in water with a complex mix of dissolved nutrients.

Culture combine.

In this method, sand, gravel, or marbles support the plant roots. Remember that the material for support, unlike soil, do not absorb nutrients. This slightly traps it between the stones and grains, enabling the plant roots to soak up the liquid freely.

Continuous hydroponic flows.

In these processes, the nutrient solution flows continuously over the plant roots. This is the most widely used commercial production method.

It's aeroponics.

This method is one where plant roots remain in air and are constantly misted with a nutrient solution.
