I purchased a hydroponic grow system 2.5 years ago now, and continue to love it so much! Before growing hydroponically, I had tried to grow lettuce and herbs indoors in soil through the winter a few years in a row, but every time I ran into problems. Aphids that kept re-appearing, fungus gnats, plants growing slowly, forgetting to water... It never did seem to work well for me so I decided to go ahead and invest in a quality hydroponic growing system and haven't looked back since! I couldn't be more please with how easy it is and how little time growing food in my hydroponic tower requires.

=====10 Benefits of Hydroponics & Its Impact on Agriculture=====

Serious problem facing agriculture and the world today. As soil degrades, it becomes more and more difficult to farm in it.

Land degradation happens through both physical and chemical methods. Physical degradation relates to natural erosion and physical disturbance, as farming equipment may cause. Chemical degradation happens due to pollution and other types of contamination. Both kinds of degradation result in soil with fewer nutrients and less suited to growing healthy crops.

Hydroponic crops don’t contribute to soil degradation, so they can help slow land degradation. These crops aren’t affected by the results of this crisis either since they don’t rely on healthy topsoil for their nutrients.
