Perhaps you'd rather grow a mini-orange or lemon tree in the living room. And it will grow larger and larger with every passing day. It's a business which already has a solid base and which will rise quickly to higher heights. There is nothing to stop it because it is the only viable alternative to growing food in many places throughout the world. Hydroponics has the largest basic market possible.
Food is indispensable.
But soil on which to grow it has been depleted or has run out or in some cases never existed. 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.
