HYDROPONICS " THE BIBLE "
he truth is: Hydroponics is the future of cultivation. Due to the depletion of proper soil and spaces, more and more people are shifting towards this modern-day practice instead of the traditional methods of farming.
What is hydroponics?
It is a form of gardening where plants can be grown without any soil and just by using solutions of waters and necessary minerals.
What are the benefits of hydroponics over soil-based gardening?
Although hydroponics has not yet been able to remove the practice of soil-based gardening, it still has risen as a well-accepted alternative. Some of its benefits are:
§ It is said that the plants grow much faster in this process due to the absence of pests that remain in the soil and in turn harm the plants.
§ This is perfect for someone who wants to have a garden but has limited space. With this alternative, gardening can be done in small spaces like greenhouses, or even balconies and window-ledges.
§ A major part of the operation is automatically done by machines so one needs to pay less attention to it.
§ The frequency of growing plants increase as the water can be re-used without wasting it or waiting for the soil to replenish.
