Hydroponics, Solution of Planting Landless Plants in Urban.
Perhaps some people think that planting crops should always use soil media, so they think that planting crops should be with large land.
Well for those of you who live in urban areas, do not have a location and a vast place, but want to plant crops, hydroponics is the solution.
Maybe you just heard it or have heard it but you do not understand what is hydroponics.
Hydroponic Definition.
Hydroponics is the cultivation of planting by using water without using soil with emphasis on the fulfillment of nutritional needs for plants. Water requirements in hydroponics are less than water requirements on cultivation with soil. Hydroponics use water more efficiently, so it is suitable to be applied to areas with limited water supply.
Hydroponics Principle
Basically hydroponic principle is to replace the soil media as the growth of plants with water that has been added with nutrients, Nutrition commonly used is Nutrition A B Mix which then mixed with water.
For the storage media the easiest is to use the bottle used, for the planting medium itself has its own system and the easiest is to use the axis system, that he used the bottle used.
There are also methods with floating raft systems, where styrofoam is perforated and floated in a pond. A more complex method is the Deep Flow Tehnique (DFT) method by placing plant roots at a depth of water layer ranging from 4-6 cm. Another method is the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), where the medium is a slope of about 5 degrees with a thin stream of water. There is also the Dutch Bucket method, which is specialized for fruit crops, such as lombok, tomatoes and eggplant.
Well for plants that are planted with hydroponics systems are vegetables and fruits, such as pakcoi, kale, spinach, celery, mustard, cayenne, tomato, melon, strauberry, and many others.
Well for those of you who want to try to grow vegetables with this system, you do not need to bribe the pocket too deep for a simple method, you can use used bottles or used Styrofoam as medium, maybe you just need to buy Nutrition plants and seeds only. However, if you want to use another system you need to poke around 500rbu to 1.5 million, itupun depending on the size you want.
What are you waiting for? There is no excuse for those of you who want to grow vegetables in narrow or even urban areas, use the hydroponic system as a method, with hydroponics system you can save space, money and of course the quality of vegetables that are produced healthy without pesticides.
