By: Tony Buel Hydroponics gardening is not a new idea. In fact one of the Ancient Wonders of the World, the famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, were created by using a form of hydroponics to cultivate the plants. Hydroponics gardening is the growing of plants and vegetables without the use of soil. A variety of [...]

By: Michael Straumietis If the advantages of hydroponic growing could be summed up in a single word it would be “control.” As a hydroponic grower, you have ultimate control over your plant’s environment, including the amount of light your plants receive, your hydroponic nutrients, and your pH levels.
But without knowing how to properly [...]

By: Michael Straumietis Though hydroponic growing began thousands of years ago, aeroponics is fairly new to the world of agriculture. In fact, it wasn’t until the 1940’s that scientists first successfully grew plants using air as a medium and it wasn’t until the 1980’s that new technology allowed aeroponics to be viable on a large [...]

By: Melih Oztalay Hydroponics is useful in two main ways. First, it provides a more controlled environment for plant growth than soil thereby removing many unknowns from experiments. Second, many plant species produce more in less time and sometimes of higher quality, which under certain economic and environmental conditions, makes hydroponics growing more profitable to [...]

More on Hydroponics
Plants can be supported in a variety of ways, by using frames and tying the plant stems to them at regular intervals using plastic ties. Automatic reels can be bought which makes the job a lot easier. They consist of a spring loaded reel of cord with [...]

By: Anne Harvester Hydroponics gardening is a type of growing indoors where plants are grown in a method other than top-soil. Usually, this refers to allowing the plant roots to suspend in a tray of water that is concentrated with nutrient solution. This allows the plants to absorb the necessary nutrients required for optimum growth. [...]

By: Keith cat Many people knew nothing about hydroponics yet for an agriculturist, and even a gardener, hydroponic spells produce at its best, higher yields, environment friendly technology, minimal labor and high return in investment, in short, MONEY!
Hydroponic technology has been proven to maximized food production in the modern agricultural procedure and food production plants. [...]

By: Diana The development of better health consciousness among consumers has led to a phenomenal growth in the demand for hydroponically grown produce. A combination of hydroponic technology and a controlled environment greenhouse or indoor grow rooms can tackle this demand. Such a blend is known as Soil-less/Controlled Environment Agriculture (S/CEA).
A majority of the [...]

By: Nicky Pilkington Hydroponics was derived from the Greek word hydro, which means “water” and ponos, which means “labor or water-working”. Hydroponics gardening involves growing plants with their roots in other nutrient solutions and without soil.
Hydroponics gardening is as simple as ordinary gardening. Both of them necessitate sufficient light, water, temperature, light, and humidity. But [...]

By: Michael Straumietis Photosynthesis, which is essential to all plant life, can only occur when the atmosphere in your hydroponics systems is sufficiently warm. Should the temperature fall too low or should it fluctuate too much throughout the course of a day, photosynthesis may be stunted, incomplete, or not occur at all.
The temperate conditions to [...]
