George Pattensons Hydroponics Questions and Answers
Hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants, without soil, by providing food and water directly to the roots of the plant. By doing so, we eliminate the need for the root system to expand looking for food and water, so the energy normally used by the plant to search for food is used for faster upward growth and fruit production. Because there aren't competing root systems, you can grow significantly more plants using hydroponics in a given area than those grown in soil. In addition, you can recirculate the water and nutrients, so hydroponic gardening ends up using a fraction of the water, with no fertilizer run-off. This website includes questions such as: what are the different types of hydroponic systems and what is a hydroponic medium.
