The Complete Guide to Hydroponics: Year-Round Harvests with Practical Techniques and Creative Solutions for Visually Stunning Urban Gardens (The Urban Farming Blueprint)

What would you say if you could double, even triple your harvest…without the need for acres of land and more raised beds? With the global population growing at such a fast rate, it’s estimated that we will need to produce 70% more food by 2050. This is a massive challenge considering current environmental issues and political issues.

When we visit a supermarket only to see full shelves of crops, it’s hard to see where the problem is. That is, until you look at the prices, and then a closer look at the quality of these fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Traditional gardening is a great solution but plenty can go wrong and that’s even if you have the space to grow your own food.

The biggest downside to traditional gardening is the need for soil. After decades of harmful commercial farming practices and the use of harsh chemicals, even this precious resource is in trouble.

But what if you could grow more in less space and without soil? What if you could do this on a budget and even make it a creative feature in your home?

All of this is possible thanks to hydroponics, the practice of growing food in water fed with nutrients rather than soil. The result— nutrients are more easily absorbed by the roots and plants flourish.

Nevertheless, it’s not just a case of sticking a plant in some water and giving it some nutrients. There is a little science and a few strategies that will ensure you get the most out of your hydroponics system.

Rather than overwhelm yourself and make mistakes so many others have made, you have all the answers to hydroponics, what to grow, and how to grow it in one simple guide.
