Introduction to Hydroponics and Aeroponics

Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants (without soil) in water containing dissolved nutrients. There are many different ways by with which you can implement this technique, and although it may seem difficult to understand, it really is quite simple, because the principle never changes.

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. Aeroponic culture differs from both hydroponics and in-vitro (Plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium.
