Summary:
It involves growing healthy plants without the use of a traditional soil medium, and by using nutrient like mineral-rich water solution instead. Not only do plants grow without soil, they often grow a lot better with their roots in water. Hydroponics does not use any soil; the roots of the plants are supported using an inert medium such as clay pellets. Hydroponics is a replacement to traditional farming methods. Growing plants using this method helps to boost growth of both plants and humans..
