Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants without soil. Most commonly, hydroponics cultivates plants in nutrient-rich water, although hydroponics can also be considered to be the practice of growing plants in other aggregates, such as a soil-less bark-based/Perlite or Coir Peat mix.
Hydroponics is an advantageous method of cultivation for commercial use.
There are no weeds to deal with, and hydroponic plants are typically more healthy, mature earlier, and use less space.
