<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The <strong>definitive step by step beginners guide</strong> to <strong>easily build an inexpensive DIY hydroponic growing system</strong>, and <strong>how to cultivate organic vegetables, fruit and herbs at home</strong> with hydroponics. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>Do you want to learn how to</strong> <strong>easily build an inexpensive DIY hydroponic growing system, </strong> <strong>cultivate organic vegetables, fruit and herbs at home</strong> <strong>with hydroponics? </strong><p>If yes, then keep reading...</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Almost all plants can be grown using hydroponics. </strong></p><p>When crops are grown in this way, <strong>they use up 50% less land and 90% less water</strong> when contrasted with traditional crop growing methods. However, <strong>the yields from the crops are 4 times more</strong>, and <strong>the crop growth rate is twice as fast</strong> when using hydroponics. This is possible because the crops have everything they would need, at the right concentrations. </p><p><br></p><p>In place of the soil used in typical agriculture, the farmer or gardener roots the plants in compounds like vermiculite, clay pellets or rock wool. All substances used must be inert so that they do not introduce any new elements into the plant's environment. The solution of water and nutrients is then poured over the support material so that the plant can feed into it. There is also less reliance on fertilizers, pesticides and other potentially harmful products used in conventional agriculture. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>This book covers, among others, the following topics: </strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Introduction to hydroponics</li><li><strong>Advantages and disadvantages of hydroponics</strong></li><li>Terminology used in hydroponics</li><li><strong>All the equipment you'll need</strong></li><li>Hydroponic growing systems detailed and explained</li><li><strong>Step by step guide to building you inexpensive hydroponic growing system</strong></li><li>How to select and start the best plants</li><li><strong>Plant nutrients and how to use them effectively</strong></li><li>Pest and disease control</li><li><strong>Common mistakes made and how to avoid them</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p>...And much more!</p><p><br></p><p>In this book the various hydroponic systems are explained in detail.
