Do you want to learn how to grow vegetables at home without soil, aquaponic gardening, step by step guide for growing in water, building your hydroponic garden.? If yes, then keep reading...
Hydroponics is used as a controlled agriculture system for growing out of season crops, for producing crops in areas that are less suited for growing crops, and in areas where the water supply cannot support conventional farming. Research centers also take up hydroponics to grow crops they need to study plant nutrition, plant breeding, and plant diseases because the conditions under which the crops are grown can be regulated as desired.
Almost all plants can be built using hydroponics. When crops are grown in this way, they use up 50% less land and 90% less water when contrasted with traditional crop-growing methods. However, the yields from the crops are four times more, and the crop growth rate is twice as fast when using hydroponics. This is possible because the plants have everything they would need, at the right concentrations.
This book covers the following topics:
- What Is Hydroponics?
- Hydroponics Systems
- A List of Equipment You Didn't Think You Would Need
- Growing Medium
- Types of Hydroponic Systems
- Best Plants for Hydroponic Systems
- How to Mix the Liquid and Dry Nutrients Cost-Effective?
...And much more
In place of the soil used in conventional agriculture, the farmer or gardener roots the plants in compounds like vermiculite, clay pellets or rock wool. All substances used must be inert so that they do not introduce any new elements into the plant's environment. The solution of water and nutrients is then poured over the support material so that the plant can feed into it.
One primary advantage that hydroponics offers over traditional crop husbandry methods is that when the systems are carefully manipulated and the growing environment adequately managed, in terms of the quantity of water provided, pH levels and the combination and concentration of the nutrients. When these conditions are looked into carefully, the crops grow faster. There is less waste in regard to the consumption of resources. There is also less reliance on fertilizers, pesticides and other potentially harmful products used in conventional agriculture.
The development of hydroponics has not only been a response to the current food and resource problems. It is a solution for the future too. Experts say that by 2050, about 80% of all the food produced will be consumed in the cities, which makes it essential for the cities to become producers of food. Currently, most cities are the good 'black holes' because all they do is suck in much of it, and at the same time, the cities are the most prominent food wasters.
In this book, you will be provided with all the information you require to start a hydroponic garden by yourself. You will learn about the history of hydroponics and its meaning, the benefits it offers, different types of hydroponics systems, and steps to build them.
