Introduction : You can do it
Agriculture is the first thing man ever learned to do for itself. In fact without it we would still be in a cave. We have come along way since then, gardens grew into farms as we formed tribes; Farms into plantations as we formed cities. Seems the more people we have the more we grow to feed them and meet other needs. Now we have a botanical society finding ways to grow more and better quality food, fibers, fuels ect. So far the best finding is hydroponics, botanist looking back into history found rumors of floating gardens and the Roman Hanging Gardens. These are examples of NFT, A type of Hydroponics we wont talk much about.
Hydroponics - growing plants in liquid : the cultivation of plants in a nutrient liquid with or without gravel or another supporting medium
Nutrient - nourishing substance: a substance that provides nourishment, e.g. the minerals that a plant takes from the soil or the constituents in food that keep a human body healthy and help it to grow
In this Guide/overview, I show you the ropes of a VERY inexpensive hydroponics technique that anyone can do. Provided you follow instructions well, Its not rocket science you dont have to know any complex math. The most well get into is ppm ((parts per million) pretty much the only number that matters) of water. So Dont be afraid of numbers and big words, they all have a simple meaning.
Out of hundreds of hydroponics innovations few are worth trying. The one that seems to have the Ease and Success is Deep Water Culture(Dwc, Waste system.) Ive seen non-green thumbs turn crops with this type of system. That may be the reason for the rise of popularity & prices. You could buy one but are you going to pay $200 for what you can get at Wal-Mart for $30??
