Hydroponics is the art of growing plants without soil. This method of growing plants is becoming more popular each year, particularly with people who are concerned with the over use of pesticides used on conventionally grown produce. Anyone can grow hydroponically at home ; people who want to grow a few indoor plants, herbs or vegetables on the balcony, through to the large commercial growers who provides an ever increasing supply of fresh fruit and vegetables to the consumer. The principle is very simple. Normally the soil is replaced with a sterile and inert soil substitute or plant medium, e.g. perlite, vermiculite, gravel, expanded clay or rockwool. These media, unlike soil, have no nutrient ( mineral ) value in them and are easy to handle. A complete plant food or hydroponic nutrient solution is then mixed with water and whenever the plants need watering, they are also fed. So long as your plants are correctly watered and provided with the right amount of light, excellent results can be achieved. Hydroponics is the most efficient way of growing and certainly will be the way more of our edible fruit and vegetables will be grown in the future.
