Hydroponics for the indoor gardener | Eugene Daily News
If you have the winter blues and are longing for the beginning of the spring gardening season, consider hydroponic gardening. Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil and brings gardening indoors for anyone regardless of space or resource limitations. Instead of soil, an inert growing medium is used in combination with a nutrient rich system supplied directly to the roots, and either artificial light or sunlight if it is sufficient.
Hydroponics systems on average use 10% of the water that traditional growing methods use, can be grown without the use of pesticides in a more sterile environment, and in some cases grown without seasonal interruption.
