'Hydroponic gardening offers a number of advantages over traditional growing,' says Nikki Thomas, co-founder of Backyardville. 'The direct delivery of a consistent supply of nutrients in hydroponic systems results in faster growth, and healthier and more robust plants too. 'The fact that this modern derivation of gardening is called "hydroponic" can lead to the belief that it consumes significant amounts of water and is, therefore, not very eco-friendly,' continues Nikki. 'In actuality, this is the ultimate water-efficient gardening practice as it requires less water than the traditional soil-based approach, enabling gardeners even in drought-prone regions or areas with limited access to grow their own produce.' Hydroponically grown produce is also noticeably greener, healthier, and more nourishing due to the water recirculation system's ability to precisely control nutrient delivery to plants. The direct delivery of nutrients incorporated in the water means faster growth and healthier plants. So it's a win-win all round.
