HYDROPONICS

Garden club recently took a field trip to check out a local hydroponics set up.

Hydroponics, in case you don't know, is a system of growing without soil and instead using mineral nutrients added to the water.  It was interesting..certainly saves a lot of space but the studies apparently are still pending on the health benefits of hydroponics versus the standard growing in the ground process.

They had some hands on experience with a short lecture on the whole process.
