2. Growing vegetables in your yard is rewarding
but there are many aspects about it you would
probably rather do without, such as pests,
weeds and disease. You can eliminate these
things by changing your gardening methods.
Hydroponic gardening equipment lets you
enjoy gardening without the hassle of dealing
with plant destroying insects, diseases and no
more weeding.
3. Hydroponics is growing plants without soil. That doesn’t
mean the roots are bare, though. There is a growing
medium used to support the plant and its roots and
keep moisture around the root system but it does not
provide nutrients. Nutrients are provided in the water
that has the appropriate nutrients added for the plants
it is being given to.
Because the plants don’t have to deal with pests,
disease and competition from weeds or even other
plants of its own kind, they grow stronger and
healthier, producing more vegetable and blossoms
than plants grown in soil. This allows you, the
hydroponic gardener, to grow more in less space and
with less effort.
4. You can set up a hydroponic garden anywhere there is adequate
light. If you choose, you can even do your hydroponic gardening
indoors with the right HID lighting system or any Aeroponics
Grow Systems. Imagine growing plenty of vegetables and flowers
in tiered hanging hydroponic systems on your patio, in your
garage or in a spare room.
5. Though you can buy kits, building your own
DIY hydroponic garden is easy and doesn’t
have to cost much. You can often use materials
you already have. For the growth medium, you
can use vermiculite, gravel, Perlite, or even old
tires shredded up. This is a great way to recycle
those old tires you don’t know what to do with.
6. Hydroponics gardening is easy, fun and
produces more, better tasting vegetables than
traditional soil gardening. What better way to
live a greener lifestyle!
