Hydroponic Gardening?

Hydroponic gardening has been around for close to 900 years now. And while its origination is credited to the Aztecs, who created several interesting water gardens, hydroponic gardening did not really become popular or feasible on a large scale until the early 1900s. Professor Gericke is credited with the “reinvention” of hydroponic gardening, as he was the first person to demonstrate (since the Aztecs) that plants could be feasibly grown to maturity without soil. He originally demonstrated this by using a number of primitive, ionic solutions.

Hydroponic gardening is quite different today from what it was with either Gericke or his predecessors, the Aztecs. Growers and inventors have since created numerous devices to speed the growing process, to increase plant density, and to increase the size and nutrient-richness of the yield.

Hydroponic growing or gardening today essentially has two components: the first component or requirement is that the growing must take place in a relatively controlled area. The second requirement is that the growing must occur in a water-based nutrient solution, rather than soil.

Hydroponic growers believe that if the first criterion is satisfied, then they will have a much better chance of preventing plant disease, which is often transmitted through soils. Additionally, they believe they will be able to better
