Can you please explain why salt is necessary in hydroponic nutrients, or is it just a byproduct? I know it has to be flushed from your medium and system periodically so I would say it’s a byproduct but I don’t know what I’m talking and hydroponic growers have typically regarded each other somewhat suspiciously and the two growing methods were not thought to be compatible.

how do pumpkins do in a hydroponic garden? I made my VERY FIRST hydroponic garden yesterday thanks to this website! It’s a very basic gurgle garden but it works great. I’m using perlite now but would like to try grow rocks. I’m using organic nutrients from MetaNaturals: Hydroponics is simply gardening without soil. Soilless growing medias such as perlite/peat-lite or perlite/vermiculite or other combined mixes, have little of the nutrients that the plant would normally leach from the soil.

Is hydroponics organic? Hydroponics is a very pure form of agriculture which uses a fraction of the water and fertilizer that traditional, soil-based agriculture does. There is no need for herbicides in hydroponics because there are no weeds. Most hydroponic growers use integrated pest management or biological control to keep pest insects from causing damage. Most hydroponic fertilizers are a premium grade of water soluble fertilizer.Hydroponics literally means “water working” but, in practical use, it means growing plants in a nutrient solution without soil. The science of hydroponics proves that soil isn’t required for plant growth but the elements, minerals and nutrients that soil contains are. Soil is simply the holder of the nutrients, a place where the plant roots traditionally live and a base of support for the plant structure.

What is Hydroponic Gardening and what are it’s advantages? Simply put, hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants, without soil, by providing food and water directly to the roots of the plant.
