Hydroponics

Hydroponics

Hydroponics is the method of growing plants in a nutrient rich water based environment. It comes with many incredible benefits over traditional gardening. Hydroponics also allow us to create farms in locations where soil conditions are too poor to support farming, or space is limited and a farm otherwise couldn’t exist.

Hydroponics is always a part of modern agriculture and can be the farming of the future with proven competitive points over soils - Space saver; effective use of plant nutrients; no weeds, fewer pests, and plant diseases; stable and higher yields; control of the whole system; fewer fertilizers and insecticides used; easy to transplant; able to grow crops all year round, etc.

Hydroponics Has the Following Advantages:

• Up to 90% more efficient use of water.
• Production increases 3 to 10 times in the same amount of space.
• Many crops can be produced twice as fast in a well managed hydroponic system.
• Decreasing the time between harvest and consumption increases the nutritional value of the end product.
• Indoor farming in a climate controlled environment means farms can exist in places where weather and soil conditions are not favorable for traditional food production.
• No chemical weed or pest control products are needed when operating a hydroponic system.
