Hydroponics is an exploding industry that has yet to reach its full potential.
The use of hydroponics broadens the ability to garden in small spaces where adequate land is scarce and in arid or barren conditions not conducive to propagation.
Hydroponics is gardening without soil. In hydroponic gardening systems, plants are placed in a growing medium and nutrients are provided directly to the roots.
Hydroponics Offers Many Benefits
» Nutrients – Complete control over nutrient balance
» No Yard Needed – Create a hydroponic garden in any indoor space.
» Water-Saving – Hydroponic gardens use up to 2/3 less water.
» Affordable – Get started on a very low budget, and save on any size of project.
» Higher Yields – Hydroponic gardens are far more productive for their size
» Better Results – Hydroponics produces better tasting, more nutritional results.
» Year Round Growing – With hydroponics, you control the season.
» Enjoyment – Your success is all but assured with hydroponics.
» Relaxing – All gardeners tell you the same thing, it is a relaxing hobby.
» Family Experience – A great way to spend quality family time together.
Environmental Benefits
One of the heralded benefits of hydroponic gardening is how it can alleviate poverty while.simultaneously easing strains on the environment. Hydroponic gardening systems can be set up to recycle water and nutrients, greatly reducing the resources necessary to grow food.
Recycling hydroponic systems use as little as 10% of the water that traditional Hydroponics and Organics Experts requires, a tremendous benefit in areas entirely dependent on irrigation.
Hydroponic gardening virtually eliminates the need for herbicides and pesticides, and hydroponic gardeners need only use about 1/4 the fertilizer that traditional gardeners require.
Another environmental benefit of hydroponic gardening will gain attention: Hydroponic gardens can produce the same yield as soil gardens in about 1/5 the space.
