Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use These Hydroponic Gardening Tips And Tricks to build your own Garden efficiently This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to grow your own healthy vegetables and fruits. There are few things more fulfilling than eating food you have grown, and yet, each year, many people miss this opportunity simply because they don’t have suitable soil or land to grow their own produce. However, there are ways of getting over this hurdle; thanks to a system of gardening, which does not require the use of soil. A hydroponic system is one such system. Hydroponics refers to a form of gardening that does not use soil. Instead of growing your crops in soil, you grow them in a solution made of nutrients and water. Think about it: plants, just like human beings, need nutrients in order to grow. Soil houses such nutrients. This is why we plant our crops in soil. But as you know, not all soil is created equal. Some types of soil are deficient in nutrients and this result in poor yields. In addition, as stated before, many people do not have access to land in the first place. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to growing their crops. Some amazing benefits of hydroponic gardening include: Faster plant growth – Plants grown in a hydroponic system tend to grow at least 20 percent faster than those grown in soil. Better yields – You can expect 20 t0 25 percent more yield when you adopt hydroponic gardening. Less water - Less water is needed simply because hydroponic systems are enclosed and thus the plants get the water they need instead of such water being distributed to the surrounding environment. Less space – Because the plants have easier access to nutrients when they are grown in a hydroponic system, they do not need to grow deep roots or spread them widely in search of nutrients. Thus, you will be able to grow your plants more closely and thus grow more plants in a smaller space. More freedom to grow your crops – The best thing about hydroponic gardening is that it gives more people the opportunity to grow plants regardless of where they live. You can easily grow crops indoors even if you live in an apartment. No need of soil – With hydroponic gardening, you don’t use soil. Instead, you use what is known as grow medium to house or hold the plants. This is less messy and easier to control than soil. Before you can enjoy the above amazing benefits of opting for hydroponics to grow fruits and vegetables, you will first need to learn how to grow plants using this step. The first thing you need to do is to select a hydroponic system that will allow you to comfortably grow your vegetables and fruits. Here is A Preview Of What You Will Learn.... What is Hydroponic Gardening? Which hydroponic system should I use? Which medium should I choose? What about hydroponic nutrients and pH? Choose a Light Source And Much, Much More!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are twenty million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's). Major benefits include: Low capital investment and overhead costs Reduced need for expensive infrastructure Easy access to markets Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces. Curtis Stone is the owner/operator of Green City Acres, a commercial urban farm growing vegetables for farmers markets, restaurants, and retail outlets.

Some people call it art, others label it science, but many would agree that it is an adventure, similar to choosing a road less taken. Hydroponics Gardening is a branch of hydroculture which grows plants in a water-based solution, taking soil out of the equation – certainly not the type of gardening you see every day. Hydroponics Gardening is a material aimed at inspiring gardeners to try their hands, or thumbs, into a non-conventional way of growing plants. It covers all the essential aspects of this type of gardening, beginning with choosing the appropriate gardening system, the requirements of setting up your own hydroponics garden, as well as how to gain control over certain elements to make your plants grow successfully in your hydroponic garden. This book also covers how to naturally and chemically control pests in your garden and ways to ensure that your plants receive the right lighting and humidity. It is also essential to know that most plants – fruits, herbs and vegetables, may be grown hydroponically. However, it is important to note that some may thrive better in a hydroponic garden because of certain conditions, such as the limitations of your space, the appropriateness of your chosen system and the extensiveness of your experience in hydroponic gardening. This resource material will point you to the right crops that can successfully be grown in a hydroponic garden, as well as some pointers on how to extend your plants’ growing season and ensure excellent yields during harvest time. With its own fair share of challenges and rewards, Hydroponics Gardening is a great way to unleash the powers of your green thumb, ensure healthy consumption of fruits and vegetables as well as promote sustainability from the garden to the dining table.

Your Customers Never Stop to Use this Awesome Guide to Hydroponic! The word hydroponic means working "with water." In simple terms, it is the science of growing plants without dirt or soil as a medium. Plants need nutrients to grow and to anchor them for support. Plants usually get these from the soil in traditional gardening. However, in hydroponics, you can give plants exactly what they need, in the particular amount needed and when they need it. You also need to provide the plants with extra support, but it is quite easy. Enriched water can easily provide all the nutrients required by the plants with very little extra work. In fact, this is easier to do in water than in soil. The plants receive pH-adjusted nutrient solutions. The roots absorb nutrients more efficiently in a highly soluble form. It takes very little effort for the roots to absorb the needed nutrients in order to grow. Even if the soil is organic and rich in nutrients, the plant will expend too much energy searching for and extracting those nutrients. This book covers the following topics: - How to build your own hydroponic system - Best plants for hydroponic gardening and nutrition - Choosing plants - Growing medium, nutrients, lightning in hydroponics - Hydroponics vs soil gardening - Maintenance of your hydroponic garden - System maintenance - Potential problem and how to overcome them - Tips and tricks to grow healthy herbs and vegetables - Starting hydroponic business - Basic components of the system - Tools you will need - Hydroponic systems equipment - Choosing the best lighting medium for your hydroponic plants - The world of hydroponics ...And much more Hydroponic plants grow easily and produce more because the force it takes for the roots to wheedle out nutrients in the soil goes instead on vegetative growth and bearing fruit or flowers. Thus, it's more effective as a means of production. Because the growing medium is inert, you can control the nutrients that the plant receives by adjusting the pH levels and strength of the nutrient solutions. You also manage the feeding and watering cycles. With technology, the potential to have a high-tech hydro system is not impossible. All aspects of this type of gardening are therefore easy, automated and controlled. The only limit is your budget and your imagination. With hydroponics, people can be confident that food that they will always have food available and that the crops will be easy to produce. Crops can be cultivated even in places with non-arable land. Hydroponics ensures that the plants or crops get the needed nutrients to grow well. Are you ready to know more? Now buy your copy!

Download or read book Small scale Aquaponic Food Production written by Christopher Somerville and published by Fao. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical paper begins by introducing the concept of aquaponics, including a brief history of its development and its place within the larger category of soil-less culture and modern agriculture. It discusses the main theoretical concepts of aquaponics, including the nitrogen cycle and the nitrification process, the role of bacteria, and the concept of balancing an aquaponic unit. It then moves on to cover important considerations of water quality parameters, water testing, and water sourcing for aquaponics, as well as methods and theories of unit design, including the three main methods of aquaponic systems: media beds, nutrient film technique, and deep water culture. The publication discusses in detail the three groups of living organisms (bacteria, plants and fish) that make up the aquaponic ecosystem. It also presents management strategies and troubleshooting practices, as well as related topics, specifically highlighting local and sustainable sources of aquaponic inputs. The publication also includes nine appendixes that present other key topics: ideal conditions for common plants grown in aquaponics; chemical and biological controls of common pests and diseases including a compatible planting guide; common fish diseases and related symptoms, causes and remedies; tools to calculate the ammonia produced and biofiltration media required for a certain fish stocking density and amount of fish feed added; production of homemade fish feed; guidelines and considerations for establishing aquaponic units; a cost-benefit analysis of a small-scale, media bed aquaponic unit; a comprehensive guide to building small-scale versions of each of the three aquaponic methods; and a brief summary of this publication designed as a supplemental handout for outreach, extension and education.
