Lands on which we have good soil for planting are increasingly becoming scarce for a lot of reasons such as industrialization, developments, and other kinds of buildings, so it becomes imperative for a man to follow his instincts for survival, which is "adaptation to the changing times and challenges".Hydroponics is one of such solutions to the challenges of land, agriculture, and food production. And it has, over time, proven to be a better alternative. Some of the advantages of hydroponics over the traditional method of gardening include:
- A gardener can grow more plants per square foot hydroponically because, since the roots are directly fed, there is no need for the plants to neither spread their roots in search of nutrients nor compete for space. Therefore, you can have more crops growing hydroponically than on land. Secondly, a hydroponic system is a controlled system, so plants would grow faster because the nutrients are provided right there for them and in the right proportion.
- Hydroponics helps to save water. For example, by planting on soil, it takes an average of four hundred liters of water to grow a kilogram of tomatoes. Still, in hydroponics, only about 70 liters of water are required.
In this book, we are going to look at what exactly hydroponics is with an overview of some essential terms and concepts. We will move on to looking at the origin of hydroponic, the science and the philosophy of this method of gardening. We will critically analyze soil gardening and hydroponics, and we will see which is better based on the advantages and disadvantages of both.
