There are many aspiring gardeners out there looking to cultivate their green thumb. Unfortunately many of them don’t have the space or land to do so. Hydroponics and aeroponics gardening can be the perfect solution to this problem. These are gardening techniques for those with little to no opportunity for a real garden and it is growing in popularity.

Hydroponics systems allow a person to grow nearly all kinds of plants. They work great for beautiful looking and smelling flowers and can produce vegetables as full and tasty that any supermarket can provide. All it takes is a certain amount of nutrient solution. This solution is what is used to replace soil in hydroponics systems.

The definition of hydroponics means ‘water-working,” such as growing plants in a water and nutrient solution with the help of LED grow plants. See no soil. Hydroponics lets you grow plants in a more efficient and productive manner. You spend less time with the back breaking work and more time enjoying the fruits of your labors.

The science behind hydroponics and aeroponics shows that soil isn’t a necessity for a plant to flourish. Instead, it is the other “stuff” such as the elements, minerals and nutrients the soil provides which is vital to the health of the plant. The only job the soil performs is that it holds the nutrients. Deep water culture systems can easily take its place with a little help from grow lights.

In hydroponics kits, you provide the exact nutrients your plants need such as the nutrients and the light from grow lights. The nutrients are added at the base of the plant near the roots and the LED grow lights are obviously place above the plant at a safe distance. Almost all plant you choose can grow within hydroponic systems, however some will do better than others.
Here are just a few of the many advantages of growing with hydroponic kits:

• Smaller deep water culture systems are less work than soil gardens since there is obviously no soil to till as well as no weeds to pull. Since there is no soil, you needn’t worry about soil born diseases, either.

• Hydroponics uses only a small fraction of the water a soil garden requires. There is no water wasted or stolen by weeds.

• Since it is you that is providing the needed nutrients, you can be sure that the plants receive the exact amount they need. This causes them to grow more rapidly while also producing bigger yields.

• It’s been shown that hydroponic systems produce is much higher in nutritional value than ordinary crops grown in fields. It is also thought to tastes better than field-grown produce, as well.

• You can grow your plants on a year-round basis when growing indoors with LED grow lights or in a greenhouse with their grow lights.

• So as you can see, hydroponic growing is perfect for the hobby gardener or the farmer growing crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, leafy crops, like lettuce and herbs and flowing plants.
