About this ebook
Soil-less gardening may seem like an unbelievable idea, but many gardeners have discovered utter joy in Hydroponics Gardening. Some people call it art, others label it science, but many would agree that it is an adventure, similar to choosing a road less taken. Hydroponics Gardening is a branch of hydroculture which grows plants in a water-based solution, taking soil out of the equation – certainly not the type of gardening you see every day.
Hydroponics Gardening is a material aimed at inspiring gardeners to try their hands, or thumbs, into a non-conventional way of growing plants. It covers all the essential aspects of this type of gardening, beginning with choosing the appropriate gardening system, the requirements of setting up your own hydroponics garden, as well as how to gain control over certain elements to make your plants grow successfully in your hydroponic garden. This book also covers how to naturally and chemically control pests in your garden and ways to ensure that your plants receive the right lighting and humidity.
It is also essential to know that most plants – fruits, herbs and vegetables, may be grown hydroponically. However, it is important to note that some may thrive better in a hydroponic garden because of certain conditions, such as the limitations of your space, the appropriateness of your chosen system and the extensiveness of your experience in hydroponic gardening. This resource material will point you to the right crops that can successfully be grown in a hydroponic garden, as well as some pointers on how to extend your plants’ growing season and ensure excellent yields during harvest time.
With its own fair share of challenges and rewards, Hydroponics Gardening is a great way to unleash the powers of your green thumb, ensure healthy consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as promote sustainability from the garden to the dining table.

Simple Guide on Hydroponics Gardening - Martha Stone
Chapter 1: Introduction to Hydroponics
When people talk about gardening and growing greens, the first few things that come to mind are soil and dirt. Traditionally, planting means growing seeds with the use of soil. However, thank heavens for science, hydroponics was discovered.
Hydroponics is a way of gardening with the use of nutrition and water mixture to compensate for what the soil can essentially do in the growing process. It is as efficient as traditional planting and offers less risk of diseases that may be acquired through soil. Because of its advantages and convenience, it became really popular among gardening enthusiasts.
Benefits of Hydroponics
Hydroponics became popular for various reasons. One of the most evident advantage of hydroponics gardening is that soil is not required. This means there is minimal to no dirt in the whole planting process. In addition, money spent on pesticides and fertilizers may now be omitted on your gardening budget. So much of your time may also be saved because there is no need to weed and till your plants.
Cultivation via hydroponics allows you to grow plants any month of the year because it may be done indoors. This enables you to have control over various gardening aspects such as the amount of water and light. You may also protect your crops from the weather and the possibility for pest control is very high.
Setting up your own garden using hydroponics is easy. As soon as you decide on the location of where you want to grow your crops, you may focus on building your own greenhouse. Choose what kind of plants to cultivate and research about the nutrients that it needs. Materials with relative information about plants and hydroponics are available almost everywhere. Take the time to know and understand how it works to ensure you’ll get your expected results. You may also ask around and participate in forums as there
