How to start your own hydroponic garden
While Gardening is
growing plants in soil with the usage of natural resources like
sunlight, manure and water; hydroponic Gardening is where you grow
plants without soil in water. This form of gardening has been
prevalent from thousands of years; some fine examples are the hanging
gardens of Babylon and the floating gardens of China. The benefit of
this technique is that these plants grow faster than the plants in
soil and they suffer less from problems like bug infections, fungus
and others.
Here are some major
tips on how you can start your own Hydroponic garden:
- Prepare the growing chamber or the growing tray with the amount of chambers you want.
- Reservoir is a vital part of the system, it has the solution of water and nutrients; the right amount of water has to be pumped depending on the plants you grow.
- Reservoir can be made using plastic or other materials that can hold water.
- The delivery system needs to be stable and well planned for the nutrient solution to reach the chambers well.
- Air pumps need to be installed; these can be the ones used in aquariums.
- The plants need to get enough natural lighting or they need an artificial light with timing alert.
