Hydroponics
is a way of gardening without using soil. Instead plants are successfully
grown in a nutrient enriched perlite and vermiculite base (so light, it is
miraculous for those of us with bad backs – there are no more heavy bags of
compost to lift!). It is used extensively for the commercial
production of tomatoes, lettuces, flowers etc
Here, in our hydroponicum, we demonstrate how the
amateur gardener may use hydroponics in his own home, garden or
greenhouse, to grow flowers, herbs, salads, vegetables, exotic plants,
shrubs and even trees!
