The term hydroponics comes from the Greek words ‘hydro’ meaning water, and ‘ponos’ meaning labor or work. Therefore, hydroponics is a system of growing plants without soil using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.
If you’re looking to try a new way to grow your own food, hydroponics is a great place to start. Though it’s possible to grow plants in dirt and enjoy delicious, organic produce, there’s something special about how hydroponically grown vegetables and fruits taste.
