Hydroponics
- There are several methods for growing all sorts
of plants without the use of soil. These hydroponics
techniques allow more growing flexibility and can
produce amazing results. Hydroponics is a method of
growing plants, herbs, fruit, vegetables and flowers
without the use of soil. Instead, nutrient-rich
solutions are used to soak the roots of the plant
with the necessary nutrients and oxygen needed for
the plants to grow. You will find all of the
different type of Hydroponic growing methods in our
Hydroponics section of our site.
Indoor
and Outdoor Organics - Organic
gardening is a simple concept. It is gardening
without the use of pesticides and non-organic
fertilizers. By eliminating potentially harmful
products, organic gardeners get the benefits of
growing vegetables and herbs without the risk of
chemicals that are unhealthy and harmful to the
environment. While organic gardening can take a bit
more work than other types of gardening the benefits
are worth the extra effort.
Organically grown fruits and vegetables are higher
in vitamins and other essential nutrients. Organic
gardening avoids the use of all harmful chemicals,
so you and your family can avoid the dangers of
taking those chemicals into your bodies. The
long-term health benefits are numerous and
important. Finally, organic gardening keeps your
local environment safe and contributes to the health
of the natural environment by eliminating harmful
chemicals that can enter the water system and
pollute nature. We provide extensive information on
organic gardening and many products to help you
create a healthy, productive organic garden.
The
Key to Indoor Gardening - Probably
the most important factor to success in indoor
gardening is light and plenty of it. Sunlight is
required for growing plants outdoors so it needs to
be replaced by proper lighting for the indoor
garden. So replacing sunlight requires light that
immolates natural sunlight. Growing plants require
lots of light to grow well, and typical indoor
lighting is simply too dim for plant growth.
Specialized light sources, designed specifically for
indoor gardening, are needed.
These come in two basic forms. First, fluorescent
grow lights can be used for some growing situations.
Special fluorescent bulbs provide the correct
spectrum of lighting for many types of plants, but
not all plants thrive under fluorescent grow lights,
and multi-tube fixtures are generally needed. High
Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting is the choice of
most serious indoor gardeners. Either Metal Halide
or High Pressure Sodium lamps, along with matching
reflectors and fixtures are readily available for
all sorts of growing situations.
