Hydroponics is a rapidly growing technique for agricultural farming. The main difference between hydroponics and traditional farming is the substitution for nutrient-rich water in replace of soil. This method of growing allows farmers to grow their crops virtually anywhere using less water and harvesting larger yields.
The basic elements required for hydroponic farming include:
Seeds: It is easiest to start with seeds of the same species to learn the process.
Substrate: For the use of retaining the nutrients that the plants require.
Nutrition Solutions: Responsible for the healthy growth of plants.
Trays or Baskets: Containers designed to hold each plant in the hydroponic system.
Air Pump: Necessary to provide consistent water and oxygen to the crops.
Irrigation: System used to move nutrient-rich water to the roots of plants.
Lighting: Needed for photosynthesis to occur in plants in order to grow.
There are many DIY hydroponic systems that you can find online. Not all hydroponic systems are built the same but they will require the same core elements in order to work effectively.
