Your Hydroponic Garden
In a way hydroponics is a form of high-tech gardening, it allows you to cultivate anywhere, in cities and towns, suburbs or the countryside, if the soil is rich or poor. Technique of future, hydroponics allows for better efficiency while preserving our environment from nitrates, fertilizers and pesticides. It also reduces the amount of water used significantly.
No matter the environment in which plants grow, they absorb their food in the form of ions dissolved in the presence of oxygen. In the water as food and oxygen are consumed, they must be replaced. It is the role of the hydroponics system, the soil less cultivating system.
The system quickens plant growth by controlling the amount of water, minerals and especially oxygen dissolved in the nutrient solution. When the roots are suspended in moving water, they absorb oxygen and mineral salts faster.If the level of oxygen is limited, plant growth will be slow, but if it is high, growth will accelerate. The role of the grower is to coordinate the input of water, fertilizer and oxygen to the needs of the plant in an optimum manner, to yield higher quality products. For that he/she must consider a number of other factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, the level of CO2, ventilation, the genetics of the plant, … Like any attentive gardener would do. These are the parameters that could be studied for a given plant, until he/she finds all the conditions to grow it properly.
Advantages of Hydroponic gardening
Using hydroponics, in the same space, you can cultivate 30% more plants, which grow 30% faster, and will result 30% more harvest!
An enormous saving of water and fertilizer. A management 5 times more efficient for the nutrient solution. In fact, using hydroponics, one uses only 20% water compared to the same crop in the soil. In addition, without soil, You won’t need to worry about diseases and insects since you won’t be using any substrate. Systems without substrate as the aeroponics system, are a great relief economically but also physically no more compost, coconut, clay ball or rock wool to be transported, replaced, washed, thrown away, etc.. No more hoeing, no more weeding.
Cuttings are successful in 95% cases and the strong seedlings adapt to the environment in which they will be transplanted, both in hydroponics and soil.
For the amateurs, plant lovers and collectors, you will be sure to get healthy and strong plants and a magnificent hydroponic garden.
