Indoor Hydroponic Gardening for Homesteader with Limited Space is designed to introduce readers to a unique way to set up an indoor garden using a method of growing called hydroponics.
What is Hydroponics? It is a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil by instead using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Terrestrial plants may be grown with only their roots exposed to the nutritious liquid, or the roots may be physically supported by an inert medium such as perlite or gravel.
The nutrients used in hydroponic systems can come from an array of different sources, including (but not limited to) byproduct from fish excrement, duck manure, or purchased chemical fertilizers.
Plants commonly grown hydroponically include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuces, strawberries, and marijuana.
