The process of hydroponics

Hydroponics is most simply defined as “growing without soil.” Early systems replaced soil with growing media, such as sand, peat moss, or rockwool. Modern systems replace the growing media with water, which prevents the depletion of these natural resources.

How does it work? In traditional growing methods, plants are not feeding on the soil; they are feeding on minerals within the soil. Hydroponic aquaculture replaces those soil-based nutrients by making those minerals available directly from the water.

Hydronov has been producing baby leaf lettuce on deep water floating rafts since 2005. Our original trials have developed into productive commercial systems.
