Have you ever wondered?
What is hydroponics?
Can plants grow without soil?
What are the benefits of soil less growing?
Are there any drawbacks to this system of farming?
Whenever we hear the word ‘garden’, we imagine a freshly tilled piece of land with gorgeous flowers and vegetables, blooms of paddy, or sprouts of spinach, or blossoms of cucumber.
But can we imagine a series of plastic pipes growing a wide variety of flowers and veggies? As crazy as it sounds, researches around the globe has proven it possible. Even more, growing without soil has proven to be a more efficient production system. Soil is just a medium for plant growth as it holds water and minerals: soil itself is not mandatory for plant growth.
What is hydroponics?
It is a new advance in agriculture where plants are grown without the use of traditional media (soil). Instead, water solvents containing mineral nutrients are used for the growth of plants. The roots of plants are exposed to the nutrient solution to facilitate their growth.
Is hydroponics practical?
A big yes. Even more, plants produced by this method are devoid of diseases. Even the scientists of NASA have considered hydroponics as the future of farming. As long as you have some space, you can grow plants in a small apartment, bedroom, or kitchen using this method. Furthermore, this technology conserves water by allowing plants to use only the amount of water they require. As a result, hydroponics has a lower water loss rate.
Do hydroponic plants grow faster?
Yes. Since nutrients come into direct contact with root systems in hydroponics, energy that would otherwise be lost in the search for essential nutrients in the soil is saved and put to good use. As a result, plant growth becomes faster.
Are there any drawbacks to hydroponics?
There are many. First, the hydroponic system relies on a set of instruments that require expertise for proper use. Plus, a frequent monitoring of plants is required to ensure that they are doing just fine. Moreover, hydroponic farming necessitates the purchase of pricey equipment at least for the first installation.
Overall, hydroponic farming is a great way to farm. The advantages of this system exceed the disadvantages. If you are into farming, you must give this novel system a try. The process will undoubtedly meet and exceed your expectations.
