Introduction to Hydroponics and its Advantages

Hydroponics, which comes from the ancient Greek words “hydro”, meaning water, and “ponics”, meaning labor, is a method of growing plants that uses only water and chemical nutrients. This method makes it possible to grow a garden or a farm without soil and instead use other organic substances such as clay pellets, perlite, rock wool, vermiculite, or peat moss to cultivate plants.

Hydroponic systems allow for the more efficient plant growth compared to field farming as part of the process is letting the nutrient solution directly reach the plant roots. There are different types of hydroponic systems, which vary in levels of complexity and required investment. Some of the most common methods include  deep water culture, aeroponics, nutrient film technique, wicking, dripping system, and ebb and flow systems.

One of the reasons why hydroponics have grown in popularity is because of its better growth rate compared to its soil counterpart. Other benefits include:

o Increased plant growth and health. Crops and other plants grown hydroponically grow 30% to 50% faster than soil-based plants due to more nutrient control and less contact with environmental aggressors such as pests and the weather.

o Less required resources. Hydroponic grown plants use only 10% of the water the field-grown plants use. The water stays in hydroponic systems and can also be reused. Additionally, hydroponics are often indoors. The controlled system reduces or eliminates risk factors such as pests, weeds, and other nutrition pollution. As a result, there is less need for pesticides and herbicides.

Lower nutrient requirement due to nutrient level control

o Bigger yields. Hydroponic farming allows plants to grow indoors or in small spaces. Plants can grow year-round and be harvested many times as outside factors such as weather and season won’t affect them.

No need to worry about soil erosion.

1. · Spray watering: add every 10 days
