Hydro Gardening

Hydroponics Gardening
Hydroponics Gardening, other wise known as Hydro Gardening, is a type of agriculture that grows plants without any soil, but instead uses nutrient-enriched water. Through scientific studies, scientists have found that many plants can grow using only water, by absorbing the nutrients and minerals in the water. Durring natural conditions, soil works as a natural reservoir of nutrients and mineral, but is not essential for plant life.

How to Build a Hydro-Garden
Hydro Gardens can be expensive, depending on the niceness of the Hydro garden. When Hydro gardening there are a few things you will need: the seedlings you wish to grow, the Hydro Garden, hydroponic solution of fertilizers, and water (or water gel crystals). Homemade Hydro Gardens tend to be easier to operate and cheaper to buy than a full on Hydroponics Gardener, which can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. If you've ever placed a plant clipping into a glass of water in the hopes that it will develop roots, you've practiced in a form of Hydro Gardening.

History of Hydroponics
While it's easy to imagine this kind of process being labeled as a bunch of new age science fiction, hydroponics has actually been in use for thousands of years. The famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, are largely believed to have functioned according to hydroponic principles. Built around 600 B.C. in Babylonia, or Mesopotamia, the gardens were situated along the Euphrates River. The area suffered from a dry, arid climate that rarely saw rain, and it's believed that the lush gardens were watered using a chain pull system, which carried water up from the river and allowed it to trickle down to each step or landing of the garden structure.
