hydroponic?

please tell me the detail bout hydroponic n why we need hydroponic???


Hydroponics or hydroculture is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil. It is particularly important as it leads to plants being able to grow in places where fertile soil is not available. I heard on the news that NASA is considering using this technique to grow plants in space to provide food for the astronauts because it is expensive to transport food from Earth to the space station and its difficult to carry soil to grow plants

What plants for a hydroponic system are in season?

What plants are in season to be used in a hydroponic system. Preferably easily grown plants. Any non exotic plants will be fine.
I live in south texas although they will be grown inside.


If its inside and a fairly warm place like Texas, there is no season. You are creating you own season.

Go to Amazon.com and search for that ISBN.

  • Make: Online : Hydroponic ferris wheel

    I'm no expert on plant nutrition or hydroponics, so I can't vouch for the effectiveness of this idea or of the particular system, but aesthetically I really like these rotating hydroponic gardens with the plants growing inward . The idea is to minimize radiant losses from the bulb, which is the expensive part of an indoor garden to operate, and hence to maximize cost efficiency. The design saves on floor space, too.

    There are compact grow rooms that are similar, only they're upright cylinders with the lights in the middle instead of this ferris wheels style.

    I could see this working with aquaponics and seems like it would be pretty simple to DIY. Really you just need a ring to drill holes in and then use neoprene collars to hold your stems in place, then a trough for nutrients that the ring can constantly spin thru. Whether or not it would work as good or better than traditional methods, who knows. May be good for small plants like cooking herbs and the like, but I wouldn't try and grow tomatoes or anything like that.
