Future Growing Methods Are Here Today!
Hydroponic/Aeroponic
Is Hydroponic growing in your future?
Those who get in on the ground floor of this budding industry will expect and deserve to reap huge benefits. This what we're talking about. Some of the advantages of growing hydroponicaly... higher yields, no soil disease, ease of operation, steady, controlled, reliable plant growth, no insecticides, it's possible to have a crop within 30 days (lettuce) , 4 crops or more a year, crops are consistent in size and yield, operation and maintenance costs are much less, no weeds, use less water, virtually no waste (use old nutrient solution on house plants), environmentally friendly, can be set up anywhere, no need for large space. Efficiency can be maintained indefinitely, no crop rotation.
Many of you will still ask...

What the heck is Hydroponic/Aeroponic?
Put simply, Hydroponic/Aeroponic is the science of growing plants without soil. If you haven't heard of Hydroponic/Aeroponic, you may have heard of "soilless gardening" which is another name often used to describe Hydroponic/Aeroponic. Natural elements necessary for plant growth in soils are the same as those used to grow hydroponicaly, with the advantage that your plants are not restricted by weeds or soil-borne pests and diseases. =(No weeds, No bugs)
You are in control
Hydroponic/Aeroponic is a highly efficient method of growing plants. You control when they flower and produce fruit. Even the taste and texture can be enhanced.
Soil growing
In soil, nutrients and water are randomly placed, so plants need to expend a lot of energy searching for the water and nutrients by growing a massive system of roots. By expending this energy, the plants growth is not as fast as it could be. Most growth activity is underground.
Water delivery
In a hydroponic garden, the nutrients and water are delivered straight to the plants roots, causing the plants to bloom faster and fuller, allowing harvesting to be done sooner, because the plants are putting most of their energy into growing above the ground, instead of under it. With Hydroponic/Aeroponic we strive to reach natures perfect balance by supplying the exact nutrients required by the plant for maximum growth and yield.
Yields
Once a plant is established in your hydroponic system it gives higher than average yields, whether being grown in a greenhouse, a backyard, a closet, a spare room or on a balcony. Also, Hydroponic/Aeroponic allows you to grow more plants per square foot. This is because the plants do not need to compete with weeds and each other for nutrients and water as in soil, as nutrients and water are delivered to the roots.
Myths
It important to note that, despite many myths, plants grown in Hydroponic/Aeroponic are no different than plants grow in soil, they have the same physiology. Plants grown in a hydroponic system take up the same nutrients as those grown in soil, though the content can be more accurately controlled. The basic difference between the two methods is the way in which nutrients and water are delivered to the plants
Nutrients
In Hydroponic/Aeroponic, the nutrient salts are pre refined and the plants do not need to wait for the nutrients to break down to their basic form. However, with soil based agriculture, plants are fed nutrients via manures and composts which must break down into their basic form (nutrient salts) before the plants can use them.
Demands for Hydroponic/Aeroponic
Hydroponic gardening has been used commercially since the 1970's, though it was not until recently that it has become more popular for the home grower. Since 9-11, 2001 the demand in the community for safe, environmental friendly and readily available products has been a major factor in this trend. We believe demand for hydroponic systems will skyrocket in the near future.
No pesticides
By growing plants hydroponicaly, you will know exactly what has gone into the plants and there is no need for harmful pesticides to be used that could damage your own health and the health of the environment.
Lighting
Commercially, hydroponic systems often use artificial lighting. This can make the system much more efficient. If you have sunlight readily available, then this additional lighting will enhance your growing ability. If you don't have sunlight, you can create and control the light your garden requires. Many of our customers find that a lighting system, while being unnecessary, if ample natural light is available, is not the hassle or ongoing expense they may have expected. Lights are controlled by timers so once the timer is set the lights will turn on and off automatically.
Family project
Once you have started to use Hydroponic/Aeroponic it is difficult to stop. The entire family will become interested and excited about growing fresh vegetables year round. As many as 4 or more crops per year is possible. Many people think of Hydroponic/Aeroponic as being complicated and expensive, but nothing could be further from the truth. Everything needed is furnished pumps, timers, grow media, nutrients etc.
Simplicity through technology
Though some prefer the challenge of the more complicated systems and the technical complexity of modifying the nutrient solutions. We start you with our 6 Plant Aeroponic System because it is simple to set up, compact, expandable and very efficient.
Inexpensive
Hydroponic/Aeroponic is as simple or as complex as you want to make it. Hydroponic/Aeroponic is also as inexpensive or expensive as you want it to be. (Systems are priced anywhere from a low of $75 to $50,000 and up.)
Fresh food for $1.00 per month
Our complete 6 Plant Aeroponic System should supply you with fresh food year round for about $1- $5 per month, depending on your physical location.
