Why?????
Q. Why have scientists and
horticulturists experimented with
different methods of hydroponics?
A. It is a simple fact that some
people cannot grow in the soil in
their area (if there is even any soil
at all).
Advantages
Faster Growth- Hydroponics works
by automatically getting the
complete nutrient mixture and
water to the roots without
drowning the plant. Plants get
everything they need all the time,
so they do not waste growing a lot
of roots or searching for nutrients.
Advantages
No Weeds or Pests- Gardening
without soil eliminates the weeds
do you do not need weed sprays.
Also, because there are no weeds,
there will be no backache from a
hoe or rototiller. Since most pests
live and breed in the soil, you do
not need to use pesticides or other
toxic chemicals.
Advantages
Great Plant Quality and TasteSince the plants get everything it
needs, all the time, it will reward
you with great taste, strong and
fast growth, and overall plant
quality.
Advantages
Grow in Any Condition- Systems
may be constructed and used in
any location from space to under
water exploration.
