Hydroponics has developed so much in the last 10 years that small hydroponic systems can be set up at home
. Small hydroponic systems are perfect for people with very little garden space or concrete gardens.
Small hydroponic systems can be purchased quite easily and cheaply now days but some people still choose to create their own. Hydroponics at home allows people to grow their own crops at little costs and without the use of a soil garden. Also with hydroponics the growing is very low maintenance and the crops can be grown all year as they avoid the natural elements and pests.
Even though hydroponics is traditionally used for mass production of crops small growing systems can be custom fitted to fit in any space inside or outside the house. Also with hydroponics plants that cant be grown in our climate can now be grown in the U.K as their natural environment can be recreated in the home. This means thousands of different plants can be grown at home.
