Hydroponic cultivation: Vegetable garden without soil

Hydroponic farming is a growing trend among growers, especially in cities. It is a form of farming that suits many because you grow completely without soil - just with water and nutrients - and is therefore especially suitable for those who do not have their own plot of land but still want to grow their own food. It is a farming method that does not require much space or maintenance, plus you have your fresh spices or vegetables close at hand when you are cooking.

In this guide, you will learn everything about how to grow in water, what systems are available and how you can build them yourself. It answers questions such as: Is it just as healthy? Does it taste just as good? Is hydroponic growing organic? Which vegetables work best?

If you feel like going in depth, there is a section for the advanced grower, where you will learn everything about different types of light and nutrition.

Hydroponic farming works both indoors and outdoors, on a balcony and patio. You can grow basically anything: herbs, lettuce, berries, tomatoes, chilies or vegetables such as squash, cucumbers, beans, peas and cabbage.
But most people start with lettuce and basil in the kitchen window.
