Description Hydroponic Gardening: A Practical Guide to Growing Plants Without Soil English | ASIN: B00BIL2XYG | ISBN: 0473092778 | 2013 | 173 Pages | EPUB | 5 MB This is the book that will get you started in hydroponics. More than just a discussion of the topic, 'HYDROPONIC GARDENING' provides the reader with complete background information on hydroponics, explains the different systems and how they work, then shows the reader in a step by step guide, how to set those systems up. A growing guide is included showing you what to grow and how to grow it hydroponically. This book is an invaluable guide to understanding, setting up and running hydroponic systems for both the home gardener and the commercial grower. The product of the knowledge of two of New Zealand's leading advocates of hydroponics, Lon Dalton the director of a number of companies in both New Zealand and the Pacific, Lon's experience in hydroponic growing is coupled with Rob Smith's technical expertise in the design of electronic control equipment. As Lon and Rob kept track of the latest developments in hydroponics this book is a must for would be hydroponic gardeners anywhere in the world Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral solution only, or in an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. The nutrients in hydroponics can be from fish waste, normal nutrients, or duck manure. Gericke originally defined hydroponics as crop growth in mineral nutrient solutions.[7] Hydroponics is a subset of soilless culture. Many types of soilless culture do not use the mineral nutrient solutions required for hydroponics. Plants that are not traditionally grown in a climate would be possible to grow using a controlled environment system like hydroponics. NASA has also looked to utilize hydroponics in the space program. Ray Wheeler, a plant physiologist at Kennedy Space Center’s Space Life Science Lab, believes that hydroponics will create advances within space travel. He terms this as a bioregenerative life support system. Sharing Widget |
