Hydroponics Gardening: Learn the secret for growing plants in your garden with detailed hydroponics and aquaponics techniques. The ultimate guide for getting better vegetables and fruits

When we think of gardening what we often see in our heads is a man or a woman on all fours crouched over a plot of dirt. They dig a hole place in a seed or even a whole plant which they have bought close it up and there you go. Or maybe we think of gardening in line with farming and we picture the same thing only this time there isnt someone crouched down but a series of mechanical inventions that do all that busy work for them. We almost certainly dont think of an indoor setup as that is more in line with hanging plants and decorative greens than it is with the concept of gardening. This would suggest that our main identifier which separates gardening from owning a few plants is the dirt itself the soil which is part of Mother Earth. But the facts are quite different.There are many different ways of gardening. The classic flowerbed in the front yard is just one of them. Here well be looking at another of them: Hydroponics. To say hydroponics is a new fad in the gardening world would discredit its history which reaches all the way back to the hanging gardens of Babylon and the Aztecs floating gardens. There are even Egyptian hieroglyphs which describe a form of hydroponic. More recently hydroponics was even given a place within NASAs space program. Clearly this is not a new fad. But commercial growers and scientists are coming around to the method leading to more hydroponic setups being used and more research looking into the advantages of hydroponics.So what makes hydroponic gardening different than traditional gardening? As the name implies (hydro) water plays a key role. The hydroponic garden actually doesnt make use of soil. Instead hydroponic gardens make use of nutrient-based solutions through the circulation of water. So a hydroponic garden tosses out the soil and instead uses an inert grow medium like clay pellets vermiculite perlite or one of several others that will pop up throughout this book. What this does is let the roots of the plant directly touch the nutrient solution get more oxygen as theyre not buried in the ground and together these both promote growth.This book covers the following topics: What is hydroponic gardeningManaging plant healthHow to build your own hydroponic systemBest plants for hydroponics gardeningHydroponics vs soil gardening and & advantages and disadvantagesMyths and mistakes to avoidGrowing mediums & nutrients and lightsSystem maintenanceProblems with the operation of a hydroponic systemChoosing plants...And much moreBut there are even more benefits to using a hydroponic setup than just expedient plant development. Despite the fact that hydro is in the name hydroponic gardens actually use up less water than traditional soil-based gardens do. This is because the hydroponic system is an enclosed system. This means that there is less soil runoff evaporation or wastewater in a hydroponic setup. Therefore a hydroponic garden when properly set up and maintained will produce bigger plants at a faster rate with less environmental strain. It seems win-win-win all around.
