The word, Hydroponic, comes from Latin and means working water. Simply put, it is the art of growing plants without soil. When most people think of hydroponics, they think of plants grown with their roots suspended directly into water with no growing medium. This is just one type of hydroponic gardening although there are six main types of Hydroponic Systems Wick Type System, Water Culture System, Ebb and Flow System, Drip System, Nutrient Film Technique and Aeroponics. Whichever system you adopt, there's nothing better than growing your own fruits and vegetables in your own Hydroponic Garden.
