There are many reasons to grow plants in a hydroponic system, but one of the most compelling is that it is often healthier.
“Hydroponics is the art of growing plants without soil. Plants are grown in nutrient solutions or other liquid media. The solution is fed directly into the root zone of the plant via the plant’s roots, usually using tubes that are placed in contact with the roots.
In this way, the nutrients in the solution are made available directly to the roots. This results in higher yields, and often a healthier plant.” Soil has many nutrients and other elements that plants need for healthy growth. However, soil has its problems. It is not always possible to get the right kind of soil for your plants. It may be too wet or too dry. There may be contaminants that leach out of the soil or may come from the surrounding area. It may be contaminated by pesticides or other chemicals. When we grow plants in soil, they are exposed to all these things.
