What is hydroponics?
The Latin term “hydroponic” literally means working water. It basically means growing plants in any medium other than soil. All plants require inorganic nutrients such as potassium, sulphur, magnesium and nitrogen and in hydroponics, these nutrients are often provided through a liquid or gel solution.
Hydroponics was developed in the former Soviet Union in 1959 by research scientists at the University of Leningrad. Simply Hydroponics has more general information about many of the other methods of hydroponic gardening.
