Hydroponics and Aquaponics are soil-less cultivations of plants. These types of gardening ensure that plants develop and grow in a supplemental arrangement instead of conventional soil beds.

The roots of plants are immersed in nutrient-rich water. You wouldn't need to worry about weeds, soil-borne pests, soil-borne diseases or weather conditions and soil grade. This also means that there is no more watering, weeding, tiling and plowing. And since water is used instead of soil, plants can be grown close together using less space. So, these gardening systems remove problems with traditional farming.


But how can you build one of these sustainable gardens?And how do these incredible processes work?

  • Techniques for hydroponic cultivation
  • Choosing the right site for your garden
  • Best fish for aquaponics and troubleshooting fish diseases
  • The amount of feed for optimal plant and fish growth
  • Best plants for hydroponic and aquaponic gardening
  • Tips and tricks to start your own soil-less garden
  • Troubleshooting common problems
  • How to choose the best system for you



With respect to planting without soil, whether for business, for personal consumption, for leisure, or aesthetic purpose, this book holds in it all the details you need. You'll be sure to get the absolute most out of your efforts once you choose to cultivate your organic food at a hydroponic or aquaponic garden.
