Hydroponics
What is Hydroponics?
According to RHS, ‘Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without using soil, by feeding them on
mineral nutrient salts dissolved in water.’
Hydroponics seek to use science and engineering to efficiently mimic the vital elements of a plant’s natural
environment, delivering precise quantities of nutrients at precise times.
In recent years, hydroponics has found application in the field of commercial production and horticulture.
Similarly, residents of cities with limited space are using this method to grow fresh plants in their home
and surroundings.
Today, according to estimates from the Associated Press, food produced using hydroponic technology is
worth $32 billion in sales.
