Hydroponic Growing System….New Age Farming!
Oct 26th, 2009 by Myarticle

Does the thought of growing delicious fruits, vegetables or herbs all year round sound like a great idea? Well, you can, and it’s a lot easier than you may think. Almost sounds too good to be true, I know! However, let me introduce you to the world of Hydroponics. Hydroponics is a type of gardening that utlises a rich nutient solution to grow plants in. Plants are then able to extract all the goodness they require in a much easier fashion than from soil.

Basics of A Hydroponics System

A hydroponics growing system consists of a reservoir, a light, and air pump to circulate oxygen in the solution, and that’s pretty much it. Except for of course, the seeds you intend on planting. As your plants aren’t grown in soil, pesticides and weed killer are not required, therefore reducing your time spent gardening. This also means fewer chemicals pumping into the atmosphere, thus reducing your carbon footprint. hydroponic growing systems use a combination of magnesium sulphate, calcium nitrate, potassium phosphate and potassium nitrate. These must be completely dissolved in the solution, traditionally water, before being circulated through the plants’ roots.

How You Can Control The Weather

Another beauty of hydroponic growing systems is the environment in which it grows in. You have complete control over this natural phenomenon via your indoor climate control. This is why growing whatever you want, whenever you want no matter what season it is, is not an issue.

Environmental Benefits

In addition to the ability to control the growing environment, there are also environmental benefits to using a hydroponic growing systemFirst of all, as a hydroponic growing system uses less space to create more crops than regular farming, natural resources are preserved. Another great feature of a hydroponic growing system is that you can actually grow the plants in a vertical fashion, rather than horizontally, allowing you to grow many more plants in a much smaller area. Building a hydroponics system can easily be done with recycled plastic buckets. Bigger systems sometimes recycle their water, as a result less water is required throughout the growing process. Indoor Hydroponics is such a great alternative to growing plants outside in soil, it’s clean, simple and extremely easy to start up.
