The word "hydroponics" was derived from the Greek word hydro, which means "water," and ponos, which means "labor." It is a technique of gardening that involves growing plants with their roots in other nutrient sources besides soil.
Hydroponic gardening is as simple as ordinary gardening using traditional methods. After all, plants, whether hydroponically or traditionally grown, need the same essential elements to stay healthy - light, water, temperature, and nutrients. The only difference is that since hydroponics requires no water, you may need hydroponic equipment to provide the plants with its needed nutrients.
Below are some great places where you can find hydroponic equipment.
