If you haven’t heard of hydroponic gardening let’s start from the top! The word comes from two Greek words meaning water and labor. Hydroponics is a soil-less way of gardening that’s been around for thousands of years. Scientists in Western countries began researching this method during the mid-century, around 1950. However many Eastern countries like China have been aware of soilless gardening for much longer. While it sounds futuristic to garden without soil this method has been around since 7th Century BC! How amazing is that?
Recent studies have shown that the yields from hydroponic gardening are incredible. Plants grown using this method don’t take up nearly as much space as other plants, they’re of incredibly high quality, and growing them doesn’t require the use of as many resources. The fact that it doesn’t take up a lot of space and that major retailers like Amazon are selling hydroponic systems makes this method of gardening ideal for urban dwellers. Growing indoors has never been more possible!
