Hello everyone

Hope all is well with you.

Review - The Hydroponic Garden, A Guide To Hydroponics

Ok, I will admit it… when I first saw this I went, "Hydro.. what?"  Yep, I'd never even heard of it.  Talk about a steep learning curve recently!

So what I've learned, and what you may already know, is that hydroponic gardening is actually being able to grow things without the need for soil.  If you'd said that to me before I would have said you were pulling my leg, I thought that it was impossible.  I mean, "how can you grow things without soil?" I asked myself.  Well, I needed a guide to teach my and I have found one.  You can check it out at http://blog.mygardeninghome.com/hydroponics.html.

I actually have an ok sized garden but hydroponics would be brilliant if you live in an apartment or don't have much garden space to play with or simply want to brighten up your home no matter how big a garden you've got. 

So, basically, hydroponics is crop, plant, vegetable production using mineral nutrients solutions instead of your usual soil which contains silt and clay.  Clever eh?

Ok, so "what are the advantages?" I hear you say.  Well, let's see if I've learnt this correctly:

• Hydroponically grown plants and vegetables can remain fresh and healthy a lot longer than your normal sooil grown stuff.  When you remove those types of plants and vegetables from the soil, you effectively kill them but the hydroponic vegetable continues to live.
• It stops you from over or under-watering plants and vegetables.
• As already stated, great if you don't have any land yourself, eg if you live in an apartment.  Not having a garden  and therefore soil, is now no excuse not to have a garden, if you know what I mean.
• You effectively eliminate any soil type diseases.
• As well as eliminating virtually all weeds. No more weeding!!
  

I think I got those right and there are lots more too.  You can learn more about hydroponics as well by checking out The Hydroponic Garden, A Guide To Hydroponics like I did at http://blog.mygardeninghome.com/hydroponics.html

I'm learning so much, it's one of those from me.

Take care for now!
