Hydroponics is the way of growing plants by using specially treated water and lighting. There are many upsides to hydroponic farming rather than the traditional methods. Hydroponics can grow plants all year long and uses far less water than planting them in actual soil, you also dont have to worry about any weeds because the plants are grown in very little soil.
If you are thinking of making a Hydroponic farm you only need a couple of things:
- Plants
- A container
- Water
- A way to hold the plants
- Light source
- Nutrients
Hydroponics is the more effective way to grow crops instead of traditional farming. The way hydroponics works is without using much soil, this process lets more plants be planted right next to each other giving a greater yield of crops. Another plus side to this system is the fact that it uses less water. The water is stored in a shaft under the plants, this is efficient because the same water feeds all the plants at the same time so you don’t waste water by watering each one individually. The plants only need a very small about of soil to grow compared to the traditional way of farming.
