Are you looking to get into the growing trend of organic hydroponics gardening? Well, the first thing you to need to do is understand what hydroponics is before you can know to use it for organic purposes. Hydroponics, simply put, is the process of indoor growing plants in water and nutrients under grow lights or LED lights, compared to the normal method of using just soil.

There is a growing majority of gardeners starting to grow their plants this way, feeling as though it is better for the plants. It should come to no surprise then that so many people are using organic hydroponic gardening to grow our vegetables and other food items.

Most opponents of hydroponics kits, mistakenly claim that it is non-organic. This isn't true. Water is organic, and so are the nutrients used to feed to the plants. Fertilizer anymore can be adapted to be organic. Your plants are grown using indoor gardening methods, along with water and lighting such as LED lights or grow lights. Organic hydroponic gardening is as easy as it comes.

The word hydroponics is of Latin descent that when translated means "working-water." It refers to a gardening method much safer for the environment and that's never a bad thing. It is a method of growing plants without soil and has been found to be used as the 1600s. People have been growing plants in water since before they began using soil.

The science behind it is that plants need nutrients to survive and the key to hydroponics is the plants receive these nutrients. Not only are water and oxygen require but most plants depend on large amounts of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Along with those, iron, manganese, boron, copper and zinc are used but in smaller amounts.
Water and nutrients aren't the only necessity plants need to survive. They also require ample amount of oxygen and nitrogen and the proper amount of light using grow lights or LED lights. Don't forget about the pH (potential Hydrogen) levels and balance, either. Your plant will also use molybdenum and chlorine but the amount needed for them to thrive is usually found in their water or from the other minerals. I wouldn't worry too much about them to make it an issue.

Now when a hydroponics kit is combined with organic indoor gardening, a gardener starts to see the fruits of his labors. Organic gardening is considered to be so when it comes from the earth. For example, the vegetables at your supermarket supplied from a local farmer are considered to be organic. Anything used in organic gardening needs to be organic and not artificial. With water being organic, you are free to use both hydroponics and organic or semi-organic gardening in the same garden for your vegetables.

When you organic hydroponic indoor growing as a supplement with organic fertilizers, you will find you can grow healthier and better plants.
