Hydroponics is a subset of hydro-culture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. Hydroponics is the fastest growing sector of agriculture.
A NASA research, called, ‘NASA Clean Air Study‘ showed that plants could eliminate a number of dangerous chemicals. These plants can reduce levels of these chemicals between 50% to 80% within 24 hour. The research also suggests having at least one plant per 100 square feet of space. Each square meter (10.8 square feet) generates a year’s supply of oxygen for one person and removes 130 grams of particulates in air. A vertical garden on a facade four stories high can filter 40 tons of greenhouse gasses and process 33 pounds (15 kilograms) of harmful heavy metals. Mitigate Mexico City’s noise an average of 10 decibels. Hydrobloom provides long term sustainable solution to urban farming with hydroponics. Hydroponics is more water-efficient and has high productivity than conventional farming. Arable land is often in short supply and gardening space continues to decrease. Hydroponics is a space-efficient solution for outdoor as well as indoor gardening.
Hydroponic gardening is fast becoming a popular choice for many growers around the world due to its more sustainable approach to resource usage than the usual growing methods. Hydroponic gardening enables plants to grow up to 50% faster than they would in soil. Also, fresh produce can be harvested from a hydroponic garden throughout the year.It is great for both the environment and the grown product, hydroponic gardening virtually eliminates the need for herbicides and pesticides compared to traditional soil gardening. Any water that is used in hydroponic gardening stays in the system and can be reused, reducing the constant need for a fresh water supply.
Hydroponic farming helps in reduction of Carbon footprint. It provides sustainable option for renewable utilization of natural resources.
