Publisher's Synopsis
Do you want to learn the design and construction of an economic hydroponic system without soil to obtain perfect organic fruits and vegetables (DIY)? If yes, then keep reading...
Hydroponic gardening is a great way to keep your fruit and vegetable garden year-round. It also means that the crops you grow will not be exposed to pesticides, chemicals and shipping rigors over long distances-all these factors will hinder nutritional content and vegetable and fruit taste.
Hydroponic gardening's productivity may only be exceeded by its relative ease of use, in terms of understanding the ease with which it works, once properly prepared and informed, you can start your own garden.

Where you live it could be extremely cold and your hydroponic garden will definitely flourish as long as you provide the right light, nutrients temperature, and humidity.
If you can sustain these factors, whether in a small, wardrobe-sized system or a large greenhouse set-up, you can enjoy tropical fruits and off-season vegetables all year round! Hydroponically grown fruit and vegetables tend to be larger than their natural counterparts, offering more edible food.
Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants without soil. Many people assume that land is essential to plant growth, but if you've got this book, you probably already know it's not. Using other materials, the different soil roles can be recreated.
Soil protects the plant because it provides a physical structure to be grasped by the roots. Tall trees couldn't stand upright on a windy day without a firm grip on the ground. In a hydroponic system, a variety of materials and trellis structures may mimic the physical support offered by the soil. Soil also provides plant growth with essential nutrients. Obviously, all these wonderful benefits come at a cost. But the cost of setting up a hydroponic garden is initially expensive in many respects, once you set up your system, it can be managed at reasonable cost. If your goal is to live solely on your hydroponic production, you will probably spend considerable money to get started.
Of course, available space would also be a factor in how much you can grow anytime. Once the hydroponic system is properly set up, the plants will grow bigger and wider very quickly... they will easily outgrow the room you initially allocated to them, so you should overestimate the space requirements if it's your first time.
Hydroponic gardening is safe, economic and relatively easy! Nonetheless, like any initiative deserving of your time and resources, it is simply a matter of good planning and foresight to look at all the facts beforehand and get to know the variables before purchasing any materials.
