Growing herbs with hydroponics
Article Abstract:
People who live in an apartment without a garden can still enjoy fresh herbs by using an indoor hydroponic growing system. Hydroponics is the science of growing plants in nutrient solutions rather than in soil. Herbs can grow faster in a hydroponic solution, and they are nutritious and full of flavor. Basil, cilantro, chives, tarragon, parsley, and mint grow very well in hydroponic plots. There are a variety of hydroponic kits available, but the most important factor to consider is how the solution reaches the root of the plant. The best is called a constant feed system.
