Hydroponics can be operated just about anywhere. One large hydroponic operator from the United States is supervising the operation of a large hydroponic greenhouse in Saudi Arabia - in the desert . Hydroponics is carried on in such diverse places as Southern Chile, Guam, and the jungle climates of South America. Hydroponic vegetables are just as good in taste and nutrition as those grown in soil. Some would say better.
Hydroponic growers have more control.
Generally speaking, you don't have to worry about the weather. You control what goes into the plant. There is no feast or famine with hydroponics. Soil often doesn't release the necessary minerals to the plant. With hydroponics you can make certain the plant gets what it needs.
