Hydroponics

- A method of growing plants using mineral nutrients instead of growing in soil

-The two main types of hydroponics are 'medium culture' and 'solution culture'. The medium culture method uses solid mediums for the roots to grow in , e.g perlite, gravel,
mineral wool or coconut husk. Solution culture doesnt use solid medium it uses mineral nutrients

-Plants grow faster with hydroponics and arent as touch and thick as they usually would be

Some Advantages
-No soil
-Reusable water
-Easier to harvest
-Faster
-Food isnt as tough and thick

A Disadvantage
-If any harm comes to the plants hydroponics system the plant will experience rapid death
