Why do we use hydroponics

The best way to reduce pesticide contamination and the harm it causes in our environment is for all of us to do our part to use safer, non-chemical pest control including weed control methods. When you water your plants only a small amount is used by the plant, a significant amount is absorbed into the ground.

So there you have it, hopefully you now have a much better idea about why hydroponics is important and could be a real solution to solving some of the current issues challenging mankind.

Looking to start your first hydroponic garden? Hydroponic Farming is the Future! Farmers can have total control over a hydroponic system. Production increases 3 to 10 times in the same amount of space. Many crops can be produced twice as fast in a well managed hydroponic system. Decreasing the time between harvest and consumption increases the nutritional value of the end product. Indoor farming in a climate controlled environment means farms can exist in places where weather and soil conditions are not favorable for traditional food production.

No chemical weed or pest control products are needed when operating a hydroponic system. Vertical systems such as Ez Gro require less space, which allows for a very high density of plants in one area. By not taking up so much space, growers have the freedom to do what they wish if they have unused land.

More produce can be grown, or they can use their land for other purposes. Growing more food in a small space may even mean that land can be reverted to its natural, un-fragmented state. This is a big step toward the conservation of animal populations, because we could rebuild their natural habitats. Hydroponics also reduces the impact of environmental factors. This translates to the ability to grow superior vegetables all year round! There are so many benefits of hydroponic growing, it seems like the obvious choice.

Hydroponics promotes an overall awareness of our environment. It can even help to protect the environment by reducing traditional agricultural pollution. Foods grown hydroponically taste superior, and have higher nutrients inside them, making them healthier than the alternative.

We bring the benefits of vertical container gardening to everyone, with complete kits that are simple to use. These EZ GRO vertical garden kits let you grow like a pro, almost anywhere, with less time, space and money.

Don't worry First time here? No products in the cart. Why Use Hydroponics by Larry Johnson. The ability to produce higher yields than traditional, soil-based agriculture Allowing food to be grown and consumed in areas of the world that cannot support crops in the soil Eliminating the need for massive pesticide use considering most pests live in the soil , effectively making our air, water, soil, and food cleaner Pesticide free products through biological pest control or OMRI approved control methods.

Nutrient solutions may be recycled or re-used in other areas such as potted plants and turf management. Growing mediums can be re-used and recycled. Depending on the type of Hydroponics used, it may requires less space therefore allowing for a high density of plants in the same area Non-arable land may easily be facilitated. Ability to grow year round! Promotes an overall awareness of our environment.
