Various Kinds Commercial Hydroponic Supplies

By Stella Gay


Hydroponics is part of hydroculture which is the growing of plants on water with the aid of nutrient solutions. This method emerged from the soilless culture which has been part of the efforts of NASA to use this style in space program. This is particularly useful climates and areas where soil planting does not work. Hence, this might work as well in space but there are no sufficient evidences yet.

There are two basic kinds of hydroponic culture. These are medium and solution cultures that are done indoors usually. Commercial hydroponic supplies are already available in the market especially in agricultural shops in all of the states including in Seattle, WA.

There are also different types of culturing plants using sand, gravel, or rockwool. There are also irrigation systems used for these methods of planting. Sub and top irrigations can be utilized for all types of hydroponic systems. The reservoirs used for this is usually plastic containers but there are also metal, concrete, glass, wood, and vegetable solids.

None of these reservoirs must be exposed to the sun because it can accumulate algae. A proper set up of hydroponics requires the use of the right materials like flood tables, net pots, aqua food table, and propagators. These are all available either in physical stores or in the internet.

This is recommended for those who are living in the city especially those in condominiums and in tall buildings where there are no backyards to plant your herbs and plants on. Urban farming is already a trend these days. It is very economical to plant your own herbs for cooking like basil, rosemary, and some vegetables like arugula, lettuce, and many more.

In the city, soils are covered with concrete and there are hardly healthy soils where your plants can survive. In addition, if you are living in condo units in sky rise buildings, it is already very possible and feasible for you to plant and make your own garden even inside the house. This is very practical and economical and almost every household in the city is doing it already.

The supplies are very accessible and easy to acquire as well. Other materials you need to get started include tubing, reservoir heaters, buckets, electrical connections, timers, air stones, and a lot more. These are not too expensive but make sure that you are purchasing good quality materials for your perusal.

The preparation for this should be very meticulous. The plant needs to be monitored daily and it needs to be taken care of properly. If you are not so adept in this method yet, you can ask an expert to teach you the proper preparation and the correct process of maintaining and taking care of the cultured herbs and plants.

This innovation is very helpful and practical. Might as well invest on the supplies and materials. You can also learn the techniques online which is really fun to do. Indoor gardening can never be as fun as this so try it for yourself and support your activity with a little research.
