Hydroponic Indoor Garden - 9 Reasons To Build It!

By Charles D Jackson

Have you ever considered setting up your own hydroponic indoor garden? The advantages and benefits over soil based gardening are many.

Take a look at the following advantages of hydroponic indoor gardening:

1. You will not need to purchase any pesticides! The majority of garden pests thrive in the soil, as you won't be using soil, there is nowhere for the pests to go!

2. After the initial set up costs, costs are around 20% lower with hydroponic indoor gardens!

3. You will be able to fit more plants in a smaller area. Even though your plants will grow larger in most cases, this is true because the roots don't expand as much in hydroponic gardens. This is because they already have all the nutrients they need.

4. Maintenance time is greatly reduced in indoor hydroponic gardens! Weeding doesn't exist without soil and there is no need to water them! All you need to do is pick the fruit or vegetables whenever it is required.

5. The yield is year long and permanent. This is because you have manipulated the growing conditions to be optimum all the time. As soon as its off season, you can sell the produce for higher prices.

6. You can grow them anywhere; window ledge, rooftop, cellar, attic, garden, greenhouse, garage or bedroom.

7. Hydroponic plants grow on average 40% larger than their soil based brothers. This is because you have given them their ideal growing conditions and constant access to all the nutrients they need.

8. The main problem for novice gardeners is under or over watering which can kill plants. This problem is eliminated with hydroponic gardens as you don't need to water them!

9. For the reasons already listed above, hydroponic plants grow up to 50% faster than other methods of gardening! This has obvious advantages if you're feeding a large family or are planning on making some money out of it! - 30228
