Hydroponics gardening is a method of growing plants without soil, using a water-based nutrient solution instead. The roots of the plants are either suspended in the water or grown in an inert growing medium such as peat moss, coir, perlite, or clay pebbles. The nutrient-rich water provides the plants with the necessary nutrients, hydration, and oxygen to grow. Hydroponic gardening is becoming increasingly popular due to its space efficiency, water conservation, and ability to grow plants indoors all year round. Some of the benefits of hydroponic gardening include:

• Higher Yields: Plants grown in hydroponic systems can mature up to 25% more quickly than the same plants grown in soil, with increased crop yield.

• Fewer Resources: Hydroponic systems use 90% less water than traditional agriculture and require less space. They also allow for precise control over environmental conditions like temperature and pH balance, which can lead to more efficient use of resources.

• Year-Round Growing: Hydroponic gardening allows for year-round growing, regardless of the weather outside.

• Easy Nutrient Access: Nutrients are dissolved in the water that surrounds the roots, so plants have easy access to the nutrition they need.

There are different types of hydroponic systems, including liquid (closed) and aggregate (open or closed) systems. Hydroponic gardening can be used to cultivate ornamental crops, herbs, and multiple vegetable types including cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes. It is possible to grow vegetables hydroponically both outdoors and indoors, and artificial lighting can help faster growth.
