After much thought, I hit upon an idea that that would allow me to grow one plant, and an extra bell pepper starter I had would do the trick. | After much thought, I hit upon an idea that that would allow me to grow one plant, and an extra bell pepper starter I had would do the trick. | ||

Hydroponics systems use up to 95% less water than traditional agriculture. Since most systems are completely closed loops where very little water can leave (or erode the local ecosystem), hydroponic growers are very effective when used and managed correctly. | |||
Using a hydroponics system also allows plants to be grown year-round, as opposed to the common growing seasons dictated by the weather. Droughts and weather events also have less of an impact on hydroponics systems because they are usually indoors and carefully temperature controlled. This also allows a bigger variety of plants to be grown wherever the farmer sees fit. | |||
