hydroponicsI just read these interesting statistics in a news item.  Why on earth do we still do traditional farming to grow these foods?  Let’s do our best to spread the word and get everyone growing at least part of their own food at home in hydroponics.

“The yield in hydroponics is much greater than the traditional way of soil farming. Wheat yields 5,600 lb in soil farming, while it produces 8,000 lb in hydroponics. Potatoes yield 1,56,000 lb in hydroponics in contrast to just 18,000 lb in natural farming.

The pioneers of hydroponics were Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, New York, New Jersey Agriculture Experimental Station, Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Horticulture Experiment Station, Netherlands. Hydroponics did not reach India until 1946. First research on hydroponics was done in Government of Bengal’s Experimental Farm at Kalimpong in West Bengal.”

    I couldn’t agree more. The closer to home you get your food the better off you are. Let’s look at the other advantages with Hydroponics or Aeroponics. You save water (There is no wasted water, no run off, no weed feeding.), you save space (you don’t need to worry about how much land you have and your crops are larger foot not to mention acre), Bug and Pests (Since you do it indoors you can really limit the amount of bad critters that eat your food before you do.) and those are just some of the points. If you grow your own food you will eat better and live longer, all of the planets will come into alignment and you will never need again….OK maybe not all of that but you get the point. GROW YOUR OWN FOOD!

    Thats some quality fundamentals there, already know some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just trying to be “controversial? lol
