Your Customers Never Stop to Use this Awesome Guide to Hydroponic! The word hydroponic means working "with water." In simple terms, it is the science of growing plants without dirt or soil as a medium. Plants need nutrients to grow and to anchor them for support. Plants usually get these from the soil in traditional gardening. However, in hydroponics, you can give plants exactly what they need, in the particular amount needed and when they need it. You also need to provide the plants with extra support, but it is quite easy. Enriched water can easily provide all the nutrients required by the plants with very little extra work. In fact, this is easier to do in water than in soil. The plants receive pH-adjusted nutrient solutions. The roots absorb nutrients more efficiently in a highly soluble form. It takes very little effort for the roots to absorb the needed nutrients in order to grow. Even if the soil is organic and rich in nutrients, the plant will expend too much energy searching for and extracting those nutrients. This book covers the following topics: - How to build your own hydroponic system - Best plants for hydroponic gardening and nutrition - Choosing plants - Growing medium, nutrients, lightning in hydroponics - Hydroponics vs soil gardening - Maintenance of your hydroponic garden - System maintenance - Potential problem and how to overcome them - Tips and tricks to grow healthy herbs and vegetables - Starting hydroponic business - Basic components of the system - Tools you will need - Hydroponic systems equipment - Choosing the best lighting medium for your hydroponic plants - The world of hydroponics ...And much more Hydroponic plants grow easily and produce more because the force it takes for the roots to wheedle out nutrients in the soil goes instead on vegetative growth and bearing fruit or flowers. Thus, it's more effective as a means of production. Because the growing medium is inert, you can control the nutrients that the plant receives by adjusting the pH levels and strength of the nutrient solutions. You also manage the feeding and watering cycles. With technology, the potential to have a high-tech hydro system is not impossible. All aspects of this type of gardening are therefore easy, automated and controlled. The only limit is your budget and your imagination. With hydroponics, people can be confident that food that they will always have food available and that the crops will be easy to produce. Crops can be cultivated even in places with non-arable land. Hydroponics ensures that the plants or crops get the needed nutrients to grow well. Are you ready to know more? Now buy your copy!

** B/W EDITION ** Do you want to discover a scientific technique for building your own hydroponic garden? Then keep reading... Hydroponics is a means of growing plants without soil. It makes use of nutrient-rich water or a nutrient solution as well as techniques that allow the plant to grow. You can also use sand or gravel, with added nutrients. In this chapter, you are going to learn the history of the growing art that we call hydroponics. You will also learn about some of its practical uses throughout history. Traditionally, the soil is used to grow plants. It was thought that soil was necessary since plants started out in the earth, with nutrient-rich soils like the strawberry plants that were first grown in the wild before being cultivated for gardens. At some point in history, it was discovered that the soil was not necessary for the growing process. Rather, the role of soil is to act as a reservoir to hold the nutrients that a plant needs in order to grow. Crops grown hydroponically, according to studies, grow faster and healthier and are better than crops grown on soil; this is because they would not have to go through a lot of disadvantages that the soil may present, such as; situations of a break out of a soil-borne disease in the area, the struggle to have to push its way through the soil during germination, the attack from organism and pests that live in the soil. And of course, the plants in hydroponic systems do not have to 'hustle' for nutrients and water because this is basically what they are planted in, in hydroponic systems-water-based mineral nutrient solutions. Hydroponics also helps you save water, which sounds a bit strange when you think of water is essential for this process. Usually, it's every alternate day so that the soil soaks up the water and is transported to the roots. That sounds fine, doesn't it? But that's only a portion of the big picture. Some of the water is bound to seep out of the container, some of it evaporates, and a portion of it seeps further into the soil beyond the plant's roots. So, in practice, the plant essentially only uses up a small portion of the water. Hydroponics uses a simple recirculating mechanism that ensures that the water is fully soaked up by the roots. It means that the portion of water that isn't absorbed by the plant is directly sent to the reservoir. The same water from the reservoir is later pumped up to the plants. Since the reservoir is shut tight, there is no chance for the water to evaporate, and it certainly will not seep out of the bottom of the container. You can save around 80% of the water by switching to hydroponics instead of using regular soil gardening.
