Hydroponics gardening has existed for thousands of years... the Hanging Gardens of Babylon used hydroponics! Grow flowers, foliage plants, or even fruits & vegetables indoors...
 

Hydroponics gardening is easy! Plants and flowers use the nutrients (plant food) and water that are in their soil, not the soil itself. Hydroponics systems provide plants and flowers the nutrients and water they need, without the mess of the soil. Did you know that soil carries diseases and pests? Soil also seems to sprout weeds every time you blink! Hydroponics gardening eliminates these problems... no soil, no diseases, no pests, no weeds!!!

Hydroponics gardening is more efficient because your plants' roots can reach the food and water without having to burrow through the soil, which can really wear out a plant. Your plants and flowers will grow more quickly because the nutrients are already dissolved in the water - they don't have to 'root' them out!!! And, since they don't have to work as hard to get what they need, their roots don't have to grow as much, which lets the plant itself grow bigger faster and with less effort.

Hydroponics gardening has been used primarily by commercial growers (farmers) for ages, but now Growco Indoor Garden Supply can offer you the same reliable convenience right in your own home! Most of our hydroponics systems come as a complete package, nutrients and all, ready for your plants and flowers to move into!

Growco even gives you illustrations in the instructions for setting up your hydroponics arrangement, and it only takes a couple of minutes to start your own indoor garden! Once you've got your plants and flowers moved in, you only need to add water and nutrients to keep them growing like wild fire.

Our hydroponics systems range from shelf-size clear up to greenhouse size. If you just need grow room supplies, go here.

And in the summer, you can pick up your whole garden and move it outside. In the winter, keep it in your bedroom, your basement, your kitchen, your living room, or anywhere else you want. If the room doesn't have enough windows, just add one of Growco's grow lights, and your plants and flowers will have all of the sunshine they need to thrive.

This is just a brief summary of this intriguing gardening process. Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia) has an in-depth look at hydroponics history and techniques. Take a look.

And talking about grow lights, let's move over to high-intensity discharge lighting (HID) options...
