hydroponic system

Soilless growing method

A hydroponic system is an apparatus for growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water instead.

The roots sit in or receive regular flows of this solution, allowing precise control over growing conditions.

Systems range from simple home setups to large commercial operations: The hydroponic system produces lettuce year-round.
