HYDROPONICS derives its name from the Greek HYDRO-PONOS meaning water/labor.
Literally, "Hydroponics" means "Water Work." There is no soil in a hydroponic garden.
No organic matter is present so nourishment (nutrient) is not available to the plants in
the same way as it is in a soil garden. Instead, nutrients are added to the water.
The Advantages of Hydroponics:
- It is easier to control the plant growing environment.
- Does not need a large supply of suitable water
- Plants grow adequately even with the lack of suitable soil
- Cuts the high labor cost of traditional cultivation and sterilizing soil
- There is a greater reliability and predictability of plant production
- Requires less attention than soil-grown crops
- It's easy!
