Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water as the growing medium instead. The roots of the plants are suspended in the water, and the nutrients they need to grow are added to the water in the correct amounts.

Hydroponic systems can range from simple setups like a bucket with an air stone, to complex systems with pumps, timers, and sensors to control nutrient levels, pH, and other environmental factors. The plants grown in hydroponic systems can be housed in a greenhouse, indoors, or outdoors, depending on the system.

One of the advantages of hydroponics is that it allows for greater control over the growing conditions of the plants, which can lead to faster growth and higher yields. It also uses less water than traditional soil-based agriculture and can be done in areas where soil quality is poor or unavailable.

Hydroponics is commonly used to grow a variety of crops including lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, and strawberries. It is also used for research purposes to study plant growth and development under controlled conditions.
