But, read on if you have any doubts about the value of hydroponics to you, your firends, and family once you get started.

What is it?

Hydroponic gardening is the growing of plants in water instead of in soil. To do this, the roots of the plants are anchored in inert mediums like sand, coal, or Perlite and nourished by water enriched with dissolved nutrients.

When Did it Start?

Hydroponic farming has been around for more than seventy years and had an illustrious role in history. During the Second World War, due in part to limitation in the distribution and the need to have greens foods in the diet, the GIs installed hydroponic growing units in their bases to supply them with fresh vegetables. It would not have been possible to obtain these foods otherwise because fresh food was in very short supply. In fact the general population was subject to food shortages and rationing, and at times went hungry.

Is it Really Nutritious Food?

Yes! Hydroponic gardening allows a farmer to have complete control of the plants as far as supplying nutrition to the plants is concerned. In fact, scientists have conducted many experiments with plant nutrition to determine the effect of giving the plant a deficiency of particular nutrients or supplying the plants with an over-abundance of certain nutrients to determine how it affects the plants growth. The result is that good quality hydroponics nutrients give the plants better nutrition than hey get from most soils. If you doubt this, just watch how much faster hydroponically fed plants grow, which is in part due to the constant availability of the correct nutrients.

Could Hydroponic Grown Food Actually be Safer to Eat than Food Grown Close to Our Major Cities?

Yes. Quite possibly! Today more than ever, air and water pollution effects the soil around industrial areas. Sometimes, the soil can be contaminated with chemicals, whether from the general environment or from residues of heavy metals left behind from spreading sewage sludge. This is now closely regulated by the Environment Agency but historical residues may still be present. Seldom are soil conditions ideal to provide anywhere near perfect nutrition for the growth of plants. However, with hydroponics gardening, the nutrients are supplied, scentifically formulated in the quantities that are required, and in solutions that are perfectly balanced.

Could Hydroponics be Producing its own Pollution?

No. That is highly unlikely.

Hydroponic planting, being contained inside a greenhouses, or inside, prevent harming the environment. This is contrasted with traditional farming where run-off from fertilized soil contaminates the rivers and streams within the farms immediate location, and downstream.

It Sounds as if it Uses a Lot of Water Though?

Not really. In fact, water loss is very minimal as hydroponic greenhouses contain the water within the enclosure making it ideal especially in drought stricken and very dry areas to grow particular plant species.

But, I Expect You Need a Lot of Space?

Not really compared with traditional growing, due to the higher growth rates. Hydroponic gardening is seen as ideal in areas where available fertile land is limited.

Are a Lot of Herbicides and Pesticides Needed?

Growing plants inside hydroponic greenhouses makes the use of herbicides to control weeds completely unnecessary. With careful management pesticides are largely unnecessary as the greenhouse itself forms a barrier against many pests and other infestation.

If it is that Good. Why Isn't it More Popular?

Lately, the commercial potential of hydroponically grown vegetables and flowers has grown rapidly.

More and more people are being drawn to the idea of hydroponic grown food, and as you can see by looking around this website, there is now an abundance of effective and efficient training and guidance available cheaply.
