Have you ever thought about getting into hydroponic indoor gardening as a hobby or money making scheme?
Below is a list of advantages to hydroponic indoor gardening when compared to traditional soil based gardening:
1. After your initial set-up costs, hydroponic gardening is around 20% cheaper to run!
2. You can plant more hydroponic plants in a smaller area. This is because the roots have no need to grow as large as they have a readier access to nutrients. This is despite the actual plants growing larger too!
3. Maintenance time is greatly reduced in hydroponic indoor gardening! Weeding doesn’t exist without soil and of course there is no need to water them! All you’ll ever need to do is pick them once they are ready!
4. The yield is year round and permanent because you have full control over growing conditions and you will have made them perfect for whatever you are growing. This is great for when it’s off season as you can sell them for higher prices.
5. You can grow your hydroponic plants anywhere; basement, living room, bedroom, corridor, garage, greenhouse, rooftop or window ledge.
6. Your hydroponic indoor gardening will result in plants that are on average 40% larger than there soil based brothers. This is because you have made for them their ideal growing environment and they have constant access to all the nutrients they need.
7. As you will not be watering them, there is no danger of them being over or under watered. This is a common mistake with many novice gardeners.
8. For the reasons listed above, your plants will grow up to 50% faster! This is ideal if you’re feeding a large family or are planning on making money out of it.
9. As you’re not using soil, you can take part in hydroponic indoor gardening in the desert or Antarctica! Or more realistically, if you don’t have a garden, if you live in a high rise building for example.
