Hydroponics is the process of growing soil-less plants by delivering a steady solution of nutrients to them. Although this approach remains fairly unfamiliar outside of a small sector of the horticultural community, it has been around for a long time in fact. It is a device that has been commonly used in Babylon's hanging gardens, and has been extensively studied for the past few hundred years by scientists and horticulturalists.
All plants require nutrients from soil, light and dissolved to expand. Hydroponics allows for the delivery of a very specifically regulated quantity of nutrients, dissolved in water, directly to the root system as needed by the plant. Because the root system is no longer required to stretch so far to obtain the nutrients, this in turn allows the grower to plant his crops at much higher densities, and that's just another reason why hydroponic crop yields are that much higher than typical soil yields.
Hydroponics is suitable for the homeowner or apartment resident hobbyist who has no time or space for full-time gardening of the soil. In late spring and summer, you can position your portable hydroponic device outside on a porch or balcony where natural sunlight helps to produce enormous yields from lettuce, to cucumbers, to zinnias.

This book covers the following topics:
- Types of Hydroponics System
- Choosing the Best Hydroponic System
- How to build your own hydroponic system
- Choosing the Plants for your Hydroponic Gardening
- Maintenance and Plants Nutrition of your Hydroponic Gardening
...And much more
Hydroponics may seem a little daunting in the beginning but as you begin to work with the different systems and approaches you may find that you are starting to get a feel for the topic. This is still a fairly new approach in gardening terminology and we are all improving as the program progresses. There are some really cheap and easy approaches to play with, and once you've seen how simplistic hydroponics really is and how much greater a yield can be accomplished.
Hydroponic agriculture can be an ideal way to grow healthy organic food in an economic way. Start small and grow with time before making a decision, and see it for yourself.
Hydroponic gardening is a lot less labor-intensive. You are working in a compact space and can arrange all your plants at waist-high level so that you do not need to go down on your knees or bend down all the time. You will also save lots of time.
