Growing at home is a trend that more and more people adopt every day. It allows them to have food availability and control the processes to obtain more organic products. If you are also interested in it, in this article we explain how to grow hydroponics at home.
The term ‘hydroponics’ has its origin in the Greek hydros (means ‘water’) and ponos (means ‘work’). I mean, I work in the water. It is a type of soilless agriculture whose raw material is water and the nutrients it contains.
What are the benefits of hydroponics?
One of the main advantages of hydroponics is that they can be adapted to almost any space and climate. For this reason, they do not depend on weather conditions, they can present several crops a year and achieve faster growth processes. They make it possible to improve family nutrition with a reduction in costs.
In addition, a hydroponic grow at home is very easy to build and does not require a lot of engineering or agricultural knowledge. Likewise, due to its ease of use, children, the elderly and people with disabilities can participate.
An article from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) points out that these types of crops allow to optimize and reduce water consumption, do not require pesticides and are adapted to vertical agriculture.
