So you're thinking of growing your own hydroponic lettuce? You should because it is delicious and you can make money too! Lettuce is probably the easiest vegetable to grow hydroponically too!
Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce.
1. As you're not growing your lettuce in the soil, you're not going to have that soil taste that is just so hard to wash out. I'm sure you know what Im talking about!
2. No soil borne diseases will be passed on to hydroponic lettuce, which is a real problem for many gardeners.
3. There will be no soil loving pests! So you won't need to buy any expensive pesticides, your lettuce will remain organic as a result. Also, slugs always seem to go for the lettuce first dont they!
4. Once the initial costs and set up have been taken care of, running costs will be around 20% lower with hydroponic lettuce.
5. Maintenance time is greatly reduced! You don't need to water hydroponic lettuce as all the nutrients are already there and weeding does not exist with hydroponic gardening. All you really need to do is pick your lettuce once it's ready.
6. If you space out planting your initial seeds by 1 week for 4 weeks, you'll have permanent lettuce yields. The growth phase for lettuce is 4 weeks.
7. You can grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; rooftop, window ledge, conservatory, corridor, greenhouse, garage or bedroom.
8. Hydroponic lettuce will be on average 40% larger than their poor soil born counterparts. This is because you will have manipulated the growing conditions to be optimum for lettuce and they will have access to all the nutrients they need.
9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows much faster than other lettuce. This is mainly because the roots don't need to grow and spread out to find nutrients in the soil. This means money in the bank for you! - 30228
