HYDROPONICS


Eat, drink and live.....
Well...we know we love doing that,,,but I think we have much more than that to do as a HUMAN!
Can we make and grow our own vegetable?, fruits?....
Can we make our window grow plants and increase the oxi level of our home?....YES
Ever heard of hydroponics?
HYDRO - means water and PONICS - means work.....in GREEK.

But when we are in this 21st century why not add on to what our ancestors invented.
THE CONCEPT
Plants need soil to get nutrients from it and need water to add hydrogen, the best constituent for all the nutrients. So now minus soil and just add nutrients and water, which is enough for growing the best fruits, herbs, vegetables or just green plants. At least we have something beneficial growing in our kitchen, balcony without having the mess of dirt.

Hydroponics use water as the medium to insert the nutrients required and the filtration system in these pots are designed such that the excess water gets drained out. Such a system is the bottle tower.

There an automatic system which doesn't need any electricity for the water flow, simple gravity would do the work.


But there many systems which make our manual work as zero and work on electricity to manage the water flow.



In india many ppl like what hydroponics is doing to their kitchens and balcony..as it is easy to maintain as well as the outcome is very good. 
You just need sunlight, pots or bottles, nutrients, air pump( if required) and of course the seed.

Please check out garden guru! to buy the nutrients

There have been website which encourage this hydroponics as a DIY thing,

Hope you find this for good and please let me know your comments on this....
I wish that every house has at least their herbs growing in their kitchen...
